Manage Data Encryption for Fields | Zoho Creator Help

Data security

The Data Security section contains two options:

Manage data encryption for fields

Notes
  1. Applies to the following fields: Single line, email, date, date-time, number, percent, decimal, and currency
  2. Refer to this page to learn about data encryption for fields

You can enable data encryption for the mentioned fields, as given below. To decrypt the data, you need to disable the  Encrypt data  property. The process will be similar to enabling it.

Enable data encryption for a field

  1. Open the form builder.
  2. Select the required field. Its Field Properties will appear on the right.
  3. Navigate to the Field Properties > Data Security section.
  4. Check the checkbox next to Encrypt data.

    If this field has been referred to in your apps, you will be prompted with a list of such references, which include:
    • Looked up in another form as part of a lookup field
    • To group or sort records in reports
    • Referred in any workflows
    You will be allowed to initiate data encryption only when you remove these references. If this field is not so referred (or once you've removed all such references), you will be prompted:

  5. Click I understand, Proceed. A popup will appear and display the progress of data encryption.

    Notes
    Note: If you have configured your own encryption key (BYOK) and encrypt data is enabled, then the configured encryption key will be used for all encrypting. Learn more

  6. Click Okay.

  3. Navigate to the Field Properties > Data Security section.
  4. Check the checkbox next to Contains health info.
  5. A popup will appear requesting permission to encrypt the data in the field.
  6. Click Yes.
