Timestamp Shift (TimestampShiftGenerator)
The Timestamp Shift generator shifts timestamps by a random amount of a specific unit of time within a set range.
The Timestamp Shift generator does not support linking. It can be self-consistent or consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.
- For text source columns, the format of the datetime values in the original data.
- For integer source columns (Unix timestamps), the unit to use.
- The part of the timestamp to shift.
- The minimum amount to shift the value by. Use negative numbers to move the value earlier.
- The maximum amount to shift the value by.

The following example replacement for the Timestamp Shift generator updates text timestamps in the format
yyyy-MM-dd. The generator shifts the day anywhere from 3 days before the current day to 3 days after the current day. The generator is consistent with the order column.{
