UI Text and Functionality Improvements in Privacy Center

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.
