Zoho Analytics offers options to change the format of a column like an alignment, decimal places, date formats, currency symbol etc., depending on its data type. Using these options you can choose how you would like to have your column data displayed in your table. Click to learn more.
Zoho Analytics allows you to mark columns as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This could be any information that could potentially identify an individual, for example. Name, Email, Job role and Company name etc. When a column is marked as PII, additional care will be taken in handling such data, such as with data encryption. The below-animated image shows how to mark a column as PII.
Alternatively, you can also click the Edit Design button in the toolbar and change the value of the corresponding Column Name to ' Yes ' under the PII column.
