Alma Anonymization: List of Fields Modified by Anonymization

Revised July 16, 2024

After Alma Anonymization is enabled, the data in certain fields in Alma Analytics will be affected (as expected, since Anonymization permanently deletes the connection to a user's PII for the anonymized transactions).

See the list below for the Alma Analytics Fields where the data is modified or deleted after Anonymization.

The list is structured:
Subject Area > Field Group > Field

As seen in Alma Analytics, 1) Subject Area, 2) Field Group, 3) Field

Screenshot shows an example Subject Area in Alma Analytics. The Subject area is denoted by the number 1, the Field Grouping is denoted by the number 2, and an individual field is denoted by the number 3.

If a field's data is modified by Anonymization, instead of the data being deleted resulting in a blank field, the change is described following the "»" symbol.

Fields are listed in alphabetical order.
