Making records private
In all PIM applications, except Expense, you can make individual records private. Private records 
remain visible and accessible, however, until you select the Security setting to hide or mask al l 
private records. See the section that begins on page 43 for details.
Hiding and masking private records
You can hide records that you mark as private. When you hide records, they do not appear 
anywhere in the application. When you mask records, a visual placeholder appears where the 
record would normally appear. If you define a password, you must enter it to displ ay private 
records.
Note: As a security measure, masked Contacts records are temporarily hidden when you search 
for records. So you will not see a placeholder for these records when viewing the results 
of a Lookup or Find request.
