Conditional

This is a composite generator.

Applies different generators to the value conditionally based on any value in the table.

For example, a Users table contains Name, Username, and Role columns. For the Username column, you can use a conditional generator to indicate that if the value of Role is something other than Test, then use the Character Scramble generator for the Username value. For Test users, the name is not masked.
