It is generally best practice to not store Personally Identifiable Information, like names and email addresses with survey data, particularly when you need to share the survey data with third parties. For a variety of reasons, this kind of information can end up in your data set and you may have cause to remove it. It is generally best to ask your data provider to remove this information before sending you a file for analysis (or ask them to send you a new file if you discover personal information after you've started working on the data), but you can also take steps to remove it yourself when that option is not available.
To remove Personally Identifiable Information from an existing data set, follow the steps outlined here.
If you wish to update a Displayr document with a version of your data set that has personal information removed then you should:
- Select the name of the data set under Data Sets.
- Use the Update... button in the Object Inspector to update the data with the new version.
- Click Publish > Embed Object > Update All Embeds.
- Go to your Documents page.
- Click the ... > Duplicate button for your document to make a new copy.
- Click the ... > Delete button next to the old document.
