Selecting the handling option for the data types

For each data type, you choose how to handle the sensitive data values.

The available options are:

  • Synthesis - Indicates to replace the value with another realistic value. For example, the first name value Michael might be replaced with the value John. Tonic Textual does not synthesize any excluded values.

  • Redaction - This is the default option. For text files, Redaction indicates to replace the value with a placeholder that identifies the data type. For example, the first name value Michael is replaced with the value PERSON. For PDF files and image files, Redaction indicates to cover the value with a black box. Textual does not redact any excluded values.

  • Off - Indicates to not make any changes to the values. For example, the first name value Michael remains Michael.
