# Example: Exclude Data setting for Web Entry in Form Tasks

Follow an example that uses the Exclude Data setting for Web Entries in Form Task elements.

## Overview

> **Intended audience:** Process designers, Web designers, graphic designers, software developers
> 
> **Tags:** Exclude Data, Web Entry, Form Task

This example demonstrates how to configure [Web Entry in Form Tasks](/v1/docs/form-task#web-entry-panel-settings). This Web Entry uses the **Exclude Data** setting to hide sensitive data, such as when displaying a code.

Follow these guidelines to use the **Exclude Data** setting for a Web Entry in a [Form Task](/v1/docs/form-task) element:

1. Design a [Form-type](/v1/docs/screens#form-1) Screen with two [Line Input](/v1/docs/line-input-control) controls and a [Submit Button](/v1/docs/submit-button-control) control.
2. Use the **Variable Name** setting values for the Line Input controls as **Code** and **Name** respectively as shown below. For this example, exclude the value for the Line Input control that has the **Variable Name** setting `Code`.

3. Design a Process with the following elements:

  - [Start Event](/v1/docs/start-event) element
  - [Form Task](/v1/docs/form-task) element
  - [Form Task](/v1/docs/form-task) element using Web Entry
  - [End Event](/v1/docs/end-event) element

4. Assign your created Screen to the first and second Form Task elements.
5. Configure the Web Entry in the second Form Task element as follows:

  1. In the **Mode** setting, select **Anonymous**.
  2. In the **Completed Action** setting, select **Screen**.
  3. In the **Screen For Completed** setting, select a Screen after the Web Entry Screen submission.
  4. In the **Exclude Data** setting, click the plus icon.
  5. Enter the variable that will not display in the Web Entry Screen. For this example, it is `Code`.
  6. In the **Web Entry URL** setting, click **Copy** to use the URL when starting a Request for this Process.

  7. Start a Request of this Process.

When opening the Web Entry URL, the Screen does not display the Line Input control's value that has the **Variable Name** setting `Code`.
