Check For Identifiers

This module will help you assess whether or not some fields may be identifiers, and then allows you to easily tag such fields as identifiers for greater data security. While this same process can be accomplished in the Data Dictionary or Online Designer, this page provides a streamlined way of tagging fields as identifiers very quickly. Based off the variable name or field label, the fields listed below may possibly contain identifiers (e.g., name, phone number, address). Please review the entries and select all identifiers, where appropriate. Any fields already tagged as identifiers will already be checked below.
