Overview

A graphical overview is located on the left side of the screen, where users can see the Designed Plan before publishing it.

This graphical overview displays all Steps, Jobs and Job assignments of the Data masking plan. They are displayed in a form of nodes.

DMP Overview Figure 1: Data masking plan Overview

It is possible to expand or collapse the Steps and Jobs nodes by using the arrow button next to the node (see more in the Context menu chapter):

  1. Using the expand button only expands nodes of the next level. If the sublevel was previously opened, then it will be opened too; otherwise, it won’t expand.
  2. Using the collapse button will close all sublevels.
  3. The menu's expand option ‘Expand all’ opens the entire structure and all substructures, whether or not the level below has already been opened.
  4. The menu's collapse option ‘Collapse all’ closes the entire structure and all substructures below it.

Filtering

The Filtering of Data Masking Plan overview can be found in the Plan hierarchy on the right side of the screen.

Steps and Jobs can also be searched by name by using the Search hierarchy field.
