I have a smart note that HR wants to see the "before" and "after" of various fields that may get changed on a dependent's record. One of thee fields is the ss#. Is there a way to mask the ss# so it shows as ***-**-6789?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Easiest place to do this is in the InfoSet. What is your data source type, DME, RDBMS, etc?

It is a jdbc connection to a relational db.

So the easiest method would be to mask the SS# field in your SQL statement. Not sure what your database platform is but for SQL Server it would be something like"
SELECT '****-**-'+RIGHT(SSN_FIELD,4)
FROM Table

We use Oracle SQL so it is the same general type of syntax but by doing it like that if one of the first 5 numbers of the ss# were changed, it would not recognize the change. It only recognizes the change if it is to the last four digits.

You could create a display column using the above syntax and then include the actual ssn field but hide the latter on step 4 of the notification.

Thank you so much that did it.
I did not realize that you could hide a column.
