DSAR - Mapping Configuration

Overview

DSA Request Configuration is essential for the requestors to place six different service requests (copy, delete, opt-out, summary of data, correct data, and unsubscribe) through the privacy portal.

DSAR Mapping Configuration is a screen used to create and manage mappings between domains, request types, requestors, acts, forms, and flows. This setup allows you to build customized workflows for handling privacy requests efficiently and in compliance with relevant regulations.

All request types, domains, acts, requestors, flows, and forms are built separately and mapped together on the Mapping screen.
