Specifying scrambling options

Scrambling data allows you to create test data based on production (or "live") data, but with the ability to change the values of certain columns.

When you use the Copy Utility (option 3.3), Import Utility (option 3.6), or Export Utility (option 3.7), you can choose to scramble some or all of the columns being copied. You specify the columns you want scrambled by marking those columns for scrambling in the output template.

You mark a column for scrambling by setting the scrambling options for that column in the template.

You can specify or change scrambling options on the Column Attributes panel. The panel comes in two flavors: one for alphanumeric columns and the other for numeric columns.
