Steps To Enable Redact Query.

Note: Redact Query is a view level option. This option will need to be enabled on each view individually.

1. Open or create a view.

2. Click the View Options ribbon bar on VDM's main screen.

3. Enable the Redact option. When the option is enabled you will see a different background color (changes based on skin - in this image it is indicated as active by the blue background).

4. Run the view and check logs to verify the query has been redacted.
