Advanced Masking Example

Advanced Masking Example

You can create an expression to combine multiple columns in an advanced masking rule.
Create an expression in the
Expression Builder
. Select columns, functions, variables, and operators to build expressions. The expression can reference input columns and variable columns.
For example, you have a CUSTOMERS table that contains first and last names. You want to mask the names and combine the masked values into a masked full name.
The following table shows the columns that you create in an the advanced masking rule to combine the masked names:
Column Name
Column Type
Masking Technique
Expression
FIRST_NAME
INPUT
LAST_NAME
INPUT
FIRST_MASKED
VARIABLE
Substitution on FIRST_NAME
_
LAST_MASKED
VARIABLE
Substitution on LAST_NAME
_
FULL_NAME
OUTPUT
Expression
FIRST_MASKED || ' ' || LAST_MASKED
Mask the FIRST_NAME and LAST_NAME with Substitution. Return FULL_NAME using an expression that combines the FIRST_MASKED and LAST_MASKED columns.
When you create expressions in the Expression Builder, use the point-and-click interface to minimize errors. Verify that the expression returns a value that matches the output column data type.
