Viewing PDD details
The Protected Data page provides a summary of the PDDs that have been created on the Privitar platform.
The page contains a table with a separate entry for each PDD. The following information is provided for each PDD:
Name: The name of the PDD.
Watermark: If Watermarking has been enabled for the PDD.
Expiration Date: the value of the expiration date of the PDD, if the associate metadata attribute is enabled and mapped.
Status: the current status of the PDD (See What is the lifecycle of a PDD?for details)
To view more details about a PDD, click on the name of the PDD in the table. The PDD details page is displayed.
The PDD details page provides high-level information about the PDD, and gives access to its metadata, activity, and linked content. It also allows the creation of Unmasking Jobs.
The high-level information available is:

Status: the current status of the PDD (See What is the lifecycle of a PDD?for details)
Watermark. if the PDD has Watermarking enabled or disabled, this displays whether watermarks are embedded in data produced for this PDD.
Environment. This displays the Privitar Environment in which the PDD is located.
In addition, the page allows access to various PDD functions:
