Use the Rule Simulator to view the output of a standard rule before you assign it to a column or add it to a plan. View the output of the rule and change the rule properties if required before assigning it to a column. You can choose to include data from a connection in the simulation. Alternatively, you can use default sample data or enter up to 100 rows of sample data on which to simulate the rule output. View the original data values and the masked values in the Rule Simulator tab.

The latest simulation configuration details are stored in the browser cache. You can edit the properties of a rule after viewing the simulation results, and run the simulation again on the same data with the updated rule. Clearing the cache deletes the configuration information.
