Sample Data Handling Using PII Tags

In Collate, sensitive information is protected through automatic masking of sample data when PII (Personally Identifiable Information) tags are applied.

​

How It Works

• If a PII tag is applied to a specific column, Collate masks that column’s sample data and displays it as ****** in the UI.
• If a PII tag is applied at the table level, Collate automatically masks sample data for all columns in that table.

This behavior ensures that sensitive data is not exposed through sample data views in Collate.

Example

When the tag is applied at the table level, the result would be:
