Parameters of the Dataset generator
After you add the Dataset generator in a field of a Data definition, you can customize the existing configurations of the field.
When you click the Dataset generator of a specific field in the Data definition in the Edit branch, the unique parameters of the Dataset generator that contains the existing configuration details for that field are displayed in the Dataset dialog.
The following table provides the list of UI elements of the Dataset 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, Dataset. | The name is not editable. | NA |
| The Blank percentage field | Determines the frequency of blank datasets in 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 fields corresponding to datasets in 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 rows with datasets. | Editable. |
Enter a number from 0 to 100 in the field to set the percentage of rows with datasets to be generated. For example, if you enter 50, the generated data will display the datasets column with a 50% occurrence rate. |
| The Dataset field | Allows you to browse and select a dataset file from the system. | NA |
Click the Browse option to select a dataset file from your system. The selected dataset value is displayed in the Dataset field. |
| The Column list | Allows you to select the desired column from the dataset for data generation. | NA | Click the list to select the column from the dataset. |
| The Add new configuration tab | You can add additional dataset configurations with specific dataset and column selections, if required. |
