Parameters of the Boolean generator

After you add the Boolean generator in a field of a Data definition, you can customize the existing configurations of the field.

When you click the Boolean generator of a specific field in the Data definition in the Edit branch, the unique parameters of the Boolean generator that contains the existing configuration details for that field are displayed in the Boolean dialog.

The following table provides the list of UI elements of the Boolean dialog with their default parameters, and the actions that you can perform in the dialog to customize the parameters for the selected field:


UI element	Description	Default feature	Action
The Generator field	Displays the name of the selected generator, that is, Boolean.	The name is not editable.	NA
The Distribution field	Determines if the Boolean values are randomly generated or not in the corresponding column of the test data. Contains the Random option.	The Random option is selected.	Do not perform any action if you want the Boolean values, when generated in the test data, to follow a random distribution. Clear the Random option if you want the Boolean to follow a fixed distribution and to be non-random. When you clear the option, the Percentage fields of all the existing configurations become editable. You can set a fixed distribution for the Boolean values using the Percentage field. For example, if you set the percentage distribution of `100%` and provide a value as `True`, then all the generated Boolean values in the corresponding column will be true. The percentage for each configuration is automatically rebalanced preserving the allocation in the existing configurations, when you add a configuration subsequently.
The Blank percentage field	Determines the frequency of blank values in the corresponding column of the generated data.	Displays `0` and is editable.	Enter a number from `0` to `100`. For example, if you enter `10`, approximately 10% of the Boolean values in the corresponding column of the generated data will be blank.
The Name field	Displays the custom name of the selected configuration.	Displays `Default` and is editable.	Enter an identifiable name to the selected configuration, if required.
The Percentage field	Determines the proportion of the generated Boolean values when you do not select the Random option.	Editable when Random is not selected.	If you did not select the Random option for distribution, enter a number from `0` to `100` in the Percentage field to set the percentage of the Boolean values to be generated. For example, if you enter `50`, the generated data will display the Boolean column with a 50% occurrence rate.
The Format section	Determines the additional details about the format of the generated Boolean values for the selected configuration.	NA	Provide information about the format of the Boolean values for the selected configuration. For more details about the section, see The Format section.
The Add new configuration tab	You can add additional configurations for boolean values with specific components and settings, if required.	The Name field displays `Configuration-1` and is editable. The Percentage field is editable when the Random option is not selected. The Value and Distribution fields display the same values that were provided in the previous configuration.	Click the tab to create additional configurations for Boolean values. This is useful when you need different sets of Boolean values in your synthetic data. For example, you can have one configuration for `Is married` with a fixed distribution, and another configuration for `Has children` with a random distribution. You can similarly customize the values, distribution, and percentage as required. Note: You can click the delete icon to delete any additional configuration that you do not need.
The Save to catalog option	After the customization of the Boolean generator is complete, you can use the Boolean generator as the base generator to create a new custom generator.	NA	Click the Save to catalog icon . You can reuse the same configuration at a later time in different scenarios without having to set it up again from scratch. See Creating custom generators and categories from Data definitions.
The preview icon	The preview icon is available for each configuration of a generator.	NA	Click the preview icon to view the sample test data for the selected configuration of a generator.
The close icon	NA	NA	Click the icon to exit the Boolean generator dialog.

Note: The total percentage displayed in the Percentage fields of all the configurations in the Dataset generator should be equal to 100.

The Format section

You can add additional details about the format of the generated Boolean values for a selected configuration in the Format section of the Boolean dialog. The following table provides the list of UI elements of the section with their description, default features, and actions that you can perform in the section to customize the configuration:


UI element	Description	Default feature	Action
The Value fields	Contains two editable fields.	Displays `Yes` in the first field and `No` in the second field.	You can modify the default values to any other suitable Boolean values.
The Distribution fields	Contains two editable fields. The field determines the proportion of the entered values when you do not select the Random option.	Editable when Random is not selected. Displays 60% and 40% as default values.	If you did not select the Random option, enter a number from `0` to `100` in the Distribution field for both values. Note: The total percentage of the distribution corresponding to both values must be equal to 100.
The Random option	Determines if the Boolean values are randomly generated or not.	The option is selected.	Do not perform any action if you want the Boolean values, when generated in the test data, to follow a random distribution. Clear the Random option if you want the Boolean values to follow a fixed distribution and to be non-random.
