Image Masking

Hide potentially sensitive recorded information collected by Process Discovery.

When masking is enabled, every screen capture displayed on the Console goes through the masking mechanism that:

  1. Analyzes all the text on the recorded screen

  2. Identifies potentially sensitive information

  3. Blurs out the target text

Enabling Image-Masking

You can enable image-masking before installing Process Discovery v20.11 (recommended), or after installation.

You can also set the Image Masking Scheduler.

Option 1: Pre-Installation

Before you run the Process Discovery installation, perform the following:

  1. Open the Nintex_PDServer64BitSetup.exe.json file.

  2. Add the masking parameter:

    "PREPARE_MASKING": "true"

  3. Make sure to save the changes

  4. Run the installation as usual

  5. After deploying and running Process Discovery, you can verify the Image-Masking installation.
