Step 5. Define data masking rules

Step 5. Define data masking rules

On the
Masking
 page, choose the object and select masking rules to assign to each field in the target.
  1. On the
    Masking
     page, select a source object to view the fields.
    The task lists the common fields and the missing mandatory fields.
  2. To view information about a field in the source object, click
    Status
    .
    The field data type determines the masking rules that you can apply to it. Fields that you cannot mask do not display a masking rule list.
  3. To use a dictionary in a masking rule or to configure unique substitution masking, click
    Configure Connections
     and add the relational or flat file dictionary or storage connection to the task.
    The
    Is Unique
     option does not appear if the task does not include a storage connection. You cannot choose a dictionary in a rule unless you add it to the masking task.
  4. To assign a rule to a common field, select the rule in the
    Masking Rule
     list.
    If the rule you select requires additional parameters, a
    Configure
     button appears next to the rule.
  5. To configure the masking rule properties, click
    Configure
    .
    Each masking rule can have different properties.
  6. Configure the masking rule properties and click
    Save
    .
    When you select a mapplet rule, you must configure input and output fields of the mapplet.
  7. To assign the default masking rules to the fields, click
    Default Assignment
    . To clear the masking rules assignment, click
    Clear Assignment
    .
  8. To view and configure an expression for the mandatory fields that are missing in the source, click
    Missing Mandatory Fields
    .
  9. In the
    Actions
     column, click
    Configure Expression
     and enter an expression in the expression builder. Click
    OK
    .
  10. After you configure masking rules for all fields, click
    Next
    .
    The
    Schedule
     page opens.
