Define Anonymization Method
Explanation
This activity is used to define how data will be anonymized. The page allows for separate anonymization of text,
dates, and numbers. One of the methods can be selected as a default one. It will be used when no other method is
selected for anonymization.
In the Text Anonymization Mode select how text values will be anonymized.
Following modes are available:
- Fixed Value - text from the Text Value field is used to replace the
original text value. E.g. if the Text Value is set to ***, and the original
text is Moore, it will be changed to ***
- Replace All Characters - text from the Text Value field is used as a
pattern to replace all characters of the original text value. E.g. if the Text Value is set to
*, and the original text is Moore, it will be changed to *****
- Leave First Character - works similar to the Replace All Characters mode
but the first letter of the original text value remains unchanged. E.g. if the Text Value is set
to *, and the original text is Moore, it will be changed to M****
