Create a data privacy technique configuration to customize how data privacy
anonymizes your data.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: data_privacy_admin and admin

## Prozedur

1. Elevate to the data_privacy_admin role.  
   For details on role elevation, see [Elevate to a privileged
   role](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QSMW4UNBg6bevZDKAPGT2Q "The base system admin can elevate to a privileged role to have access to the features of High Security Settings.").
2. Navigate to System SecurityData PrivacyPrivacy Technique Configuration.
3. Click New.
4. In the Name field, enter a name for your privacy technique configuration.
5. In the Privacy Technique field, select a privacy technique.

   | Technique | Description |
   |-|-|
   | No Action | This technique is a placeholder. It does not modify fields when selected. |
   | Random Replace | This technique swaps values with randomly generated values. String and Number data can use this technique. |
   | Selective Replace | This technique does a selective replace of String data. All characters between the input's start and end indices are replaced with the character you choose. You can specify characters to exclude from masking: * start_index: Technique masks data starting at the specified character. If left blank, masking begins with the first character. * end_index: Technique masks data from the start of the string to the specified character. If left blank, masking ends with the last character. * exclude_char: Define a character to exclude from masking. * replacement_char: Define a character used for masking. If none is provided, asterisks(\*) are used by default. {#config-dp-technique__ul_ubr_v1w_4tb} |
   | Static Replace | This technique swaps values with static values. String, Number, and Date data can use this technique: * date_time_value: Replace Date values with this date. Use the yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format. * date_value: Replace Date values with this date. Use the yyyy-MM-dd format. * number_value: Replace Number values with this number. * string_value: Replace String values with this text. {#config-dp-technique__ul_cxg_ybw_4tb} |
   | Remove | This technique removes values, replacing them with empty (null) values. |

   Hinweis:  
   Previously supported value Replace is deprecated and renamed Replace-Deprecated and should not be used.
6. Right-click the header and click Save in the context menu.  
   After the record is saved, the Privacy Parameterized Values list appears.
7. Use the records in the Privacy Parameterized Values list to customize your data privacy technique configuration.  
   The available parameterized values depend on which privacy technique you have selected. There are no parameterized values for the No Action and Remove techniques.{#config-dp-technique__table_a5r_bbm_lrb__entry__3}

   | Privacy Technique Parameter value | Description | Default value |
   |-|-|-|
   | char_to_replace | Character to use when replacing values using a selective replace. | \* |
   | end_index | Technique masks data from the start of the string to the specified character. If left empty, masking ends with the last character. | (Empty) |
   | exclude_char | Character to skip masking. Only a single character can be used in this value. If more than one is entered, the first character is used. | (Empty) |
   | start_index | Technique masks data starting at the specified character. | 1 |

   | Privacy Technique Parameter value | Description | Default value |

   | date_value | Replace date values with this date. Use the yyyy-MM-dd format. | 1988-11-11 |
   | number_value | Replace Number values with this number. | 1234567 |
   | preserve_data_length | Set to true to preserve data length. De-identified data will have the same length as the original data. | true |
   | string_value | Replace String values with this text. | TEXT123 |
   | use_random_generated_value | Set to true to replace data with randomly generated values. Only String and Number data can be replaced with random values. This option overrides static values. | false |
