Table Enhancements for Data Elements

Tables on the Data elements screen have been upgraded to improve usability, accessibility, and customization, including resizable columns, more records per view, clearer row actions, and more. These updates are designed to provide a consistent and improved user experience, helping users work more efficiently with data and tailor their experience to their specific needs.

Purpose Data Usage

Drill into specific purposes across the platform and inspect their usage details. This central reporting screen provides privacy managers a central location for monitoring where a given purpose is used to better manage those records.

For more information, see Unified Purpose Feature Guide.

Fixed

  • Resolved an issue that prevented some notices from populating correctly on merged data subjects.

  • Resolved an issue that prevented purposes preferences from displaying in their configured order on the preference center.

  • Resolved an issue that generated new tokens on every consent change.

  • Resolved an issue that caused some integration workflows to send duplicate events for a single receipt when data subject profiles were merged.

Existing Public Preview Features

CMP Consent Context

Added support to our existing data hierarchy to allow CMP consent users to provide consent for a purpose multiple times when using consent groups. When using consent groups with the unified profile feature, the CMP will use the same data subject for different consent groups, eliminating the need to create additional profiles.

Accessibility Conformance

  • Error messages on the Trust Center's login screen have been improved to offer more specific guidance (WCAG-AA 3.3.3: Error Suggestion).

  • Screen headers on the Purposes screen now contain the appropriate heading tags (WCAG-A 1.3.1: Info and Relationships).

  • Screen readers now correctly announce the Create data subject button as a button instead of a link (WCAG-A 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value).

  • Accurate aria labels are now present for buttons on the Data elements and Reason templates screens (WCAG-A 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value).

Things to Know

  • When new users without existing profiles in OneTrust enter phone numbers into the Trust Center or preference center and their profile gets created, special characters are now removed from their phone number identifier for improved format standardization.
