DSAR - Act Configuration

DSAR - Act/ Regions Configuration

DSAR Configuration provides each configuration in a separate sub tab under the Privacy Portal Configuration tab. Every domain that you configure requires that you add some regions/acts for it to function. You can either define an Act or choose from the pre-defined acts and update them based on requirement.

When mapping the act to a domain, you can either choose any pre-defined Acts or the newly configured one from the Acts drop-down menu on the Mappings tab.

Configuring a new Act

For configuring a new Act for a domain,

  • Log in to the Data Governance tool.

Once logged in, the Data Governance Tool displays the Main Screen.

  • Type the name in the 'Display Name' dialog box.

  • Enter the 'Identifier'.

Display Name - the name used for display purposes, through which you can identify the act. Display name can be defined however you like, irrespective of the letters' case. You can also use special characters if needed.

Identifier - this is used to identify the act in the backend. An identifier cannot be in capital letters and cannot be a duplicate (shouldn't match with any other act's identifier). Also, you cannot use special characters, symbols, etc.

Note: The 'Summary' tab present under these options is to display the description of the Act on the Welcome Screen. You can add text here or enter NA otherwise.

  • Add the required information in the 'Summary' tab.

Now, you need to define the 'Act Summary Configuration' and 'Act Display Name Configuration' for the domain. Usually, a single Act (say GDPR) can be used to configure multiple domains that you create. These configurations can be used if you want to differentiate the Act's display names and summaries for each configured domain.

To configure the Act's Summary,

  • Click the on the 'Act Summary Configuration' tab.

  • Click the button on the screen.

The following screen is displayed where the Act Summary for a domain can be configured.
