How does Confidentiality affect Searchability?
If All Fields are confidential then the Certificate Number should remain searchable, while the Certified Entity Name shouldn’t be searchable.
If the Certified Entity is confidential and the Cert Number is not,
Then only the Cert Number should be searchable
If the Certified Entity is NOT confidential and the Cert Number is confidential
Then the Certified Entity should be searchable
To manage Confidentiality via API go to the API Documentation
