Certain Amp Impact features are impacted by encrypted fields due to Salesforce limitations regarding SOQL queries. Consider the implications and impacted functionality before applying encryption to the following features:

Aggregations

  • Encrypted fields cannot be used in filters

  • The following aggregate functions will not be supported:

  • Supported aggregate functions: COUNT, AVERAGE & SUM

  • De-duplication and Sex Based On will only be supported when “View Encrypted Data” permission is given to the user
