To improve the user experience in Privacy Center, we updated the user interface text in several places. We also changed the behavior of two privacy policy filter operators.
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
How:
- Review these changes in filter conditions for privacy policies.
- The is before operator was renamed to: is within the last. This operator captures records whose date field is within a specified number of days before the policy execution date. For example, if the specified number of days is 45, then matching records need a date field that’s within 45 days before the policy execution date. The new functionality better serves customer use cases.
- The is after operator was renamed to: is beyond the last. This operator captures records whose date field is beyond a specified number of days before the policy execution date. For example, if the specified number of days is 45, then matching records need a date field that’s more than 45 days before the policy execution date. The new functionality better serves customer use cases.
- The Number of Days field was renamed to: Number of Days Relative to Policy Execution Date. This change clarifies the field’s meaning.
- The Preview field was renamed to: Summary. Additionally, we inserted a disclaimer that this field’s content is for informational purposes and isn’t valid Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL).
- When a user applies the Permanently delete records setting to a privacy policy, a warning banner alerts the user about the setting’s risks. This change helps customers avoid accidental data loss.
- When a user cancels an in-progress job for a privacy policy, Salesforce prompts them to confirm the action with a warning. Canceling in-progress jobs can cause some records to be modified or unrecoverable. The updated warning message clarifies these risks.
