IMS Customer File Masking in Unisolve

How to Enable and Verify Customer File (C File) Masking in IMS in Unisolve Software

A new update has been added in the Unisolve IMS feature to protect customer information while generating IMS files. With this update, users can enable customer data masking through the Zip Code option available in IMS Registration.

Once this option is enabled, sensitive customer details such as customer name, address, phone number, DL number, and GSTIN will be masked automatically in the generated Customer File (C File). Only required fields like Customer Code, City, State, and ZIP Code will remain visible.

This masking process is applicable for:

  • Manual Reports (Text – PIPE Format)
  • Automated Reports (API Output)
