How to Create Redaction Codes in VIDIZMO

Redaction codes in VIDIZMO allow users to apply standardized labels to redacted content, providing important context about the information present in redactions. You can create lists containing these redaction codes to apply them in various cases.

Creating redaction codes allows organizations to define and categorize the reasons behind redacted information. Whether used for compliance, security, or internal processes, they help manage sensitive information within the Portal.

Prerequisites​

Ensure you belong to a group with the Manage Redaction Codes feature enabled. To perform actual redactions and utilize these codes, you need Redaction and Redaction Codes permissions. See Enable Features in the VIDIZMO Portal for more information.

Access Redaction Code Settings​

  1. Select the navigation menu.
  2. Expand Admin.
  3. Select Portal Settings.
  4. Expand Library.
  5. Select Redaction Codes Settings.
  6. Select Add New Group to start creating a Redaction Code List.

Create a Redaction Code Group​

  1. In Redaction Code Settings, enter a name in the Group Name field.
  2. Provide a Description for the redaction group.
  3. Select +Add New Code to create a new redaction code.
  4. Configure the Redaction Style Options:
    • Code - Enter the code to display on the redaction
    • Description - Describe the type of information the code represents
    • Redaction Classes - Select applicable classes from the dropdown (multiple allowed)
    • Font Family - Choose a font for the code
    • Font Size - Select the font size
    • Text Weight - Specify the weight (range 1–10)
    • Text Color - Choose the text color
    • Background Color - Set the background color for the redaction
    • Text Alignment - Configure the code's placement on the redaction
  5. Select Add to save the code to your list.
  6. Select +Add New Code to add additional codes as needed.
  7. Select Publish to finalize your redaction code list.

NOTE: The available redaction classes depend on the VIDIZMO Indexer configurations in the app.

Manage Redaction Codes​

  • Edit - Adjust settings for a code
  • Delete - Remove a code from the list

Export Redaction Codes​

Select Export to CSV to download a copy of your codes along with their details.

NOTE: Redaction codes are applied automatically only if redaction classes are configured for each code. Default redaction code groups (such as U.S. FOIA and UK FOIA) require you to manually map detection classes to each code.

Redaction Codes Global Settings​

Configure global settings that apply to all codes in your lists. These settings are loaded by default whenever you add a new redaction code.

  1. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Redaction Codes Settings page.
  2. In the Redaction Style Options window, configure the default settings:
    • Font Family - Default font for codes
    • Font Size - Default font size
    • Font Style and Text Weight - Default style and weight
    • Text Color - Default text color
    • Background Color - Default background color for redaction
    • Text Alignment - Default position of the code on the redaction
  3. Select Save Changes to apply the global settings.

These global settings are applied whenever you create or use redaction codes in Studio Space.
