Screen Header Enhancements Across the OneTrust Platform
To improve consistency, usability, and clarity, OneTrust is introducing enhancements to screen headers on select screens across the OneTrust Platform. These updates standardize how screen titles and descriptions appear, and in some cases, consolidate screen-level actions into a streamlined Context Menu. This change is designed to help users better understand the purpose of each screen at a glance, navigate more confidently, and complete workflows more efficiently.
What to Expect
The Screen Header Enhancements feature includes the following key updates:
- Standardized Screen Titles and Descriptions
-
: All applicable screens now feature a consistent layout for titles and descriptions. These descriptions provide quick, contextual guidance to help users understand the screen's function and what actions they can take.
- Context Menu for Actions
-
: Some buttons that previously appeared directly on select screens have been moved and now appear as an option within the Context Menu
in the screen header. This helps reduce visual clutter while still keeping key actions easily accessible.
- Renamed Buttons
-
: On select screens, certain buttons have been renamed to better reflect the specific actions they perform. This helps to reduce ambiguity and make actions more immediately understandable.
Impact on Documentation and Workflows
- Documentation Updates
-
: Screenshots and step-by-step instructions within myOneTrust articles and other supporting documentation may or may not reflect the new header layout, Context menu structure, or renamed buttons. Users should expect some minor visual and procedural differences but no changes to core functionality. Documentation will undergo updates when the Screen Header Enhancements feature is made generally available across all areas as the default experience.
- Workflow Adjustments
-
: While the location of some buttons may have changed, all existing functionality remains intact. Users may need a brief adjustment period to become familiar with the new layout.
