Displays an icon to symbolize the encryption state of the column. Options are:

• Green circle – Encryption is required (ENCRYPTION REQUIRED is checked) and encryption is enabled (ENCRYPTION STATE is “Encrypted”).
• Yellow triangle – Encryption is not required (ENCRYPTION REQUIRED is not checked) and the column is not encrypted (ENCRYPTION STATE is “NotEncrypted”).
• Red circle with slash – Encryption is required (ENCRYPTION REQUIRED is checked), but the column is not encrypted (ENCRYPTION STATE is “NotEncrypted”).

• Decrypting – the column is in the process of being decrypted
• Encrypted – the column is encrypted

If enabled, encryption for the column is required. If the column is not encrypted, daily emails are sent to Security and Data Source Administrators, suggesting that the column should be encrypted.

If disabled, encryption for the column is not required.

When a new column is added for encryption (on the Data Source Column Encryption page), the ENCRYPTION REQUIRED check box is enabled by default. Disable encryption from the Data Source Column Encryption page.

If checked, this content is installed with the Stewardship Tier and cannot be edited.

If unchecked, the content was added by a user or process.

NOTE: This is a display-only check box. It cannot be updated.
