Note • Although you can mask or unmask text only from Talisma Client, the text is displayed in its masked form when you view the text using Talisma iServices and Talisma Web Client. • The text masked by a User can be unmasked by another User if the latter User has the Mask/Unmask Text in Messages Permission. • When you mask underlined text, the underline will continue to be displayed. • You cannot mask: ◦ Attachments and multimedia content. ◦ Text displayed in multiple lines. When you select multiple lines of text, the Mask Selected and Unmask Selected options will not be enabled. When you include text that does not contain a new line character, even if the text is displayed in multiple lines, Talisma considers it as a single line of text and enables you to mask the text. ◦ Text in a table. You must select text in individual cells and mask the selected text. ◦ Windows Controls included in Interaction Messages. For example, text boxes, applets, etc. However, you can mask or unmask text inside text boxes. • Character formatting of original text is lost when you select the Unmask Selected option. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the Show Masked Text option to display the text in its original format. • It is recommended that you do not mask hyperlink(s) in an Interaction Message that contains multiple hyperlinks. While the Unmask Selected option will be disabled when you try to unmask a hyperlink, you can use the Show Masked Text option to unmask all hyperlink(s). |
