PeopleTools 8.58 – New Security-Conscious Functionality
Did you know that PeopleTools 8.58 comes with new functionality that allows users to mask the output of PII (personally identifiable information), AKA PID (personally identifiable data) in PS Query?
There appears to be a good deal of configuration necessary (don’t forget security!) in using Data Masking, as well as some ‘gotchas’, so be sure to explore before use. Read more about it in PeopleBooks and log in to My Oracle Support for the full New Feature Overview document.
