Usage   

This feature is only applicable to On-The-Fly masking and only on tables with many columns with a large amount of data. 

Since loading unmasked data into On-The-Fly will require memory and also affects the performance this feature is used to manage these two aspects. 

The best way to use the feature is to select all columns first and deselect the columns that should not be passed through. There is no error if a column is selected that is needed for masking.

Important:

  • All Masked and ID Columns need to be selected or the masking job will throw an error (due to missing columns).
