Data Element Properties Help
This panel is used to set properties for a data element
that you created or to view the properties of the base
data elements or categories.
General
- Element name
- indicates the name of the data as it is represented in the policy XML.
For new data elements, this name is declared in the <DATA-DEF>
element of the policy.
Names are case-sensitive.
For example, the data elements Favorite and favorite
are considered different in P3P.
The name cannot begin with a number and cannot contain dots, spaces, or
underscores. This field cannot be blank.
- Short (display) name
- provides a short description of the data.
This value cannot exceed 255 characters.
This is the name that is shown in the Data Elements
pane of the policy editor.
- Element description
- provides a more detailed description of the data.
This property is encouraged when creating new data elements.
Users examining a policy in detail may choose to read the
long descriptions of new data elements in order to understand
the policy more completely.
