Settings

Introduction

This part of the guide covers some fundamental settings which are needed to work with Privacy Now®:

• Master data
• Application settings

Master data

Master data tables contain the sources data of the fields using single or multi choice options.

Master data tables are preloaded with initial values when the environment is initially created. These values can be later changed by users with the Admin field set to "True".

Editing of master data table can be done from the left menu Settings/Data Sets or directing from the records using the fields based on the master data (in both cases if the user has the required privileges).

Application settings

This section concerns the preferences and settings which can be defined at application level for Privacy-Now®. These settings are accessible from Settings/Application Settings.

Application settings are accessible only by users with administration privileges (see below how to set them). The first user created when Privacy-Now® environment is created is set with administration privileges.

Settings/Application Settings link open the SettingTicket.

Settings are organized in five sections:

• Consents Settings
• Group Settings
• License Details
• Tools
• Purchase History

Consents Settings

These settings refer to consents management process. See the consents guide for more information on the process.

The table below report the settings fields available and a short description of their meaning:

Field	Description
Consents Matching Mails	Consents can be acquired from emails. With this field it is possible to define the recipients of the emails which will be checked to process the consents. Emails in the inbox with other recipients will be ignored.
Consents Warnings Recipients	This field contains the emails addresses notified when consents warnings are triggered.
Consents Subjects Matching criteria	This field allow to define the criteria to match an incoming consent sent by mail with the existing consents in Privacy-Now®. After trying to match if the consent subject is found the existing consent record is updated. If the consent subject is not found, a new consent record is created. This field may have one of the following two values: "Mail" (consent subject is matched using the email address), "Username" (consent subject is matched using the user name identifier, for example the login used by the consent subject to access a website).

Group Settings

Privacy-Now® has several profiles for user privileges. The profiles determines what users can do while executing processes (e.g. access requests, consents, etc.). Users can be assigned to groups and groups can be finally assigned to profiles in each record (e.g. access request, consent etc.).

The fields DPO Profile, DP Profile, DC Profile, Audit Team Profile and Working Team Profile allow to define which "groups" the user will be able to see and select in each process.

The fields DPO Default, DP Default, DC Default, Audit Team Default and Working Team Default allow to define the default "groups" which will be set everytime a new record is created.

The above fields, shall be defined for each process/workflow, e.g. access requests, actions, audits management, etc.

In order to update the fields for a process, perform the following steps:

• Choose the process by setting the Process field
• Load the set values for all the field by using the LOAD command
• Set the values for the fields
• Save the settings by using the SAVE command at the bottom of the form.

Repeat the above steps for all the processes you need to configure.
