Configuring an individual column
For an individual column in Database View, you can configure the assigned generator and determine the column sensitivity.
Displaying the column configuration panel
From the column list, to display the column configuration panel, click the generator name tag.
Assigning or ignoring the recommended generator
For a column that Structural detected as sensitive and that does not have an assigned generator (is assigned Passthrough), the generator name tag displays the type of sensitive data.
The first time that you click the generator name tag, Structural displays a panel that contains the following information:
The type of sensitive data that was detected
The recommended generator
Sample source and destination values based on the recommended generator
From the panel, you choose whether to assign or ignore the recommended generator for that type.
To assign the recommended generator, click Apply recommendation. Structural displays the column configuration panel with the recommended generator selected. You can then adjust the configuration or select a different generator.
To ignore the recommendation, click Ignore. Structural displays the column configuration panel to allow you to select the generator to assign to the column.
Indicating whether a column is sensitive
Required workspace permission: Configure column sensitivity
The Structural sensitivity scan provides an initial indication of whether a column is sensitive and, if it is sensitive, the type of sensitive data that is in the column. For more information, go to Identifying sensitive data.
From the column configuration panel, you can change whether a column is sensitive.
In a child workspace, you cannot configure whether a column is sensitive. A child workspace always inherits the sensitivity designation from its parent workspace.
On the column configuration panel, the sensitivity information is at the top right.
To indicate that a column is sensitive, toggle the Sensitivity setting to the on position.
To indicate that the column is not sensitive, toggle the Sensitivity setting to the off position.
Changing the column generator configuration
Required workspace permission: Configure column generators
To change the generator that is assigned to a selected column:
Click the generator name tag for the column.
On the column configuration panel, from the Generator Type dropdown list, select the generator.
Configure the generator options.
To reset an assigned generator to Passthrough:
Click the generator name tag.
On the column configuration panel, click the delete icon next to the generator dropdown.
For details about the configuration options for each generator, go to the Generator reference.
For more information about selecting and configuring generators and generator presets, go to Assigning and configuring generators.
