How to Create Redaction Codes in VIDIZMO

Overview​

Redaction codes in VIDIZMO allow users to apply standardized labels to redacted content, informing the user that they receive important context about the information present in redactions on various content. VIDIZMO allows you to create lists containing these redaction codes so that you can apply them in various cases. Creating redaction codes allows organizations to define and categorize the reasons behind redacted information. Creating and configuring redaction codes in VIDIZMO involves accessing the overlay settings and defining custom code lists. Whether used for compliance, security, or internal processes, they prove helpful in managing sensitive information within the Portal.

Prerequisites​
