General Data Protection Regulations

After four years of preparation and debate the GDPR was finally approved by the EU Parliament on 14 April 2016. It will enter in force 20 days after its publication in the EU Official Journal and will be directly applied in all member states two years after this date. Enforcement date: 25 May 2018 - at which time those organisations in non-compliance will face heavy fines. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organisations across the region approach data privacy. The key articles of the GDPR, as well as information on its business impact, can be found throughout this site. (Source: https://www.eugdpr.org)

Field restrictions on this record

At present the 'Show All Fields' button is a temporary, this will be removed in the next major release. The 'Show All Fields' button overrides the Field Sets. , it allows the user to view all fields associated with the record.

Field Sets

The Field Sets were originally part of Data Extraction Formats, under the choose what to print section. These have been separated from the Data Extraction Formats, with an option to select which fieldd set is linked to the format. The Field Sets are used through out the system, to determine what to display or report/extract. Projects will also utilise the Field Sets, to determine what fields are required for the service. The individual user record specifies which projects the user can access. The system will look at the users available projects to display the fields required. The user will not be displayed fields that are not required by the project.
