📍 Step 2: Select Collaboration Group or Create a New One​

  • Collaboration groups help maintain “consistency across different datasets”, to ensure uniform anonymization across projects.

  • Users can select an existing collaboration group or create a new collaboration group to anonymize the file consistently.

  • User can also anonymize a file without selection of any collaboration group if required. In this case, a “Default Collaboration Group” will be assigned.

  • Select an existing Collaboration group from the drop down under “Run Properties” to proceed with an existing one.

  • Click “Create New Collaboration Group” to create a new Collaboration Group. As seen below, the user needs to enter the mandatory parameter “Project Name” to create a collaboration group.

  • The same Collaboration group during “AI Powered Run” will maintain consistency in the anonymization of structured files or within unstructured files. For example, in unstructured files the Name “Emma Smith” in a .docx file gets anonymized similarly to an “Emma Smith” in a .png. In structured files, the “Emma Smith” in a .xlxs will be anonymized similarly to “Emma Smith” in a .csv.

Step 3: Run Time PII Settings​

  • In the AI Powered Run Screen, there is a hyperlink to view the PII Settings before proceeding with an App Safe Run.
  • Click the PII Settings hyperlink to view the default Utility Parameters and Conditions fetched from the centralized PII settings page as shown in the screenshot below.

  • User can change the values of the Utility Conditions and click Apply and Close.
  • Apply and Close will apply the modified PII Settings to the AI Powered Run for both structured and unstructured files.
  • The Run Time PII Settings should not override the Centralized PII Settings.
  • Clicking on the Cancel button will restore the Centralized PII Settings.
  • Users can add a new PII Category and remove an existing one if required.
  • These run time utility parameters and conditions should also be displayed in the utility parameters and conditions for a structured file.

Step 4: Click to Upload or Drag and Drop a File 📤​

Select “Click to Upload” and manually upload a File from the local system or Drag and Drop a File into the Upload section highlighted in the UI to start with the File Anonymization 🔐.

Currently the system allows uploading one file at a time for anonymization ⚠️.

The file types supported for anonymization can be categorized as follows:

  • Tabular Files: .xls and .csv 📊
  • Text Files: .docx, .srt, .txt and .log 📄
  • Image Files: .pnj, .jpeg and .tif 🖼️
  • The File Safe application can handle large file sizes. The Maximum File Upload limit is set to 1 GB for structured files and 20 MB for unstructured files. alt text -Once the file is uploaded, the user will be directed to the following loading screen. This is the step where the anonymization of the file is taking place. alt text

Step 5: Monitor Job Status 📊​

Once the anonymization is complete, the user will be directed to the File Safe Tab on the Jobs page. The status of File Anonymization will be visible here. alt text The user can also navigate to the “Jobs Page” by clicking “History” on the left navigation panel.
