Criteria menu - associated mode


The following panel is displayed when you create or modify an associated disguise rule. The menu is specifically designed to accommodate disguise criteria creation for File-AID/RDX extracts. This menu cannot be accessed from the stand-alone File-AID/Data Solutions product, only via the bridge from File-AID/RDX.

Here you select the desired disguise option(s) and identify the associated rule with a meaningful description as you can change the generated name to a more descriptive associated rule name.

Important

When specifying criteria in associated mode, only the associated field is displayed in the respective criteria screen (see File-AID/Data Solutions Data Generator Criteria for an example).

Disguise Object

Identifies the name of the object you selected in the Data Disguise - Object List.

Column Name

Identifies the name of the columns/fields of the object you selected in the Data Disguise - Column/Field List.

Associated Rule

Identifies the disguise rule member name in the Disguise Criteria file. When creating a new rule File-AID/RDX assigns a unique name (Annnnnnn) in the current disguise criteria file. You can change the generated name to a more descriptive associated rule name. This field only displays when criteria is stored in the Disguise Criteria file.

Description

Displays the disguise rule description as entered during the disguise creation. By default, it includes the word ASSOCIATED for associated mode, followed by the column/field and object name. You can change the generated description to better reflect your disguise criteria.
