## How to configure <a href="#random-boolean-configure" id="random-boolean-configure"></a>

To configure the generator, in the **Percent True** field, enter the percentage of values to set to `True` in the output.

For example, if you set this to `60`, then 60% of the output values are `True`, and 40% of the output values are `False`.

If you set this to `100`, then all of the output values are `True`.

If you set this to `0`, then all of the output values are `False`.

If [Structural data encryption](https://docs.tonic.ai/app/generation/generators-assign-config/generators-data-encryption-config) is enabled, then to use it for this column, in the advanced options section, toggle **Use data encryption process** to the on position.
