How to configure
To configure the generator, toggle the Consistency setting to indicate whether to make the generator consistent.
By default, the generator is not consistent.
If consistency is enabled, then by default it is self-consistent. To make the generator consistent with another column, from the Consistent to dropdown list, select the column.
When the generator is consistent with itself, then a given source value is always mapped to the same destination value. For example, My Business is always mapped to New Business.
When the generator is consistent with another column, then a given source value in that other column always results in the same destination value for the company name column. For example, if the company name column is consistent with a name column, then every instance of John Smith in the name column in the source database has the same company name in the destination database.
If Structural data encryption is enabled, then to use it for this column, toggle Use data encryption process to the on position.
