anonymise

Convert existing fields in the data extract by anonymizing the values in the selected fields.

Introduction

Use the anonymise enrichment to convert existing fields in the data extract by anonymizing the values in the selected fields.

Creating the enrichment

For more information on creating an enrichment, see Using custom scripts.

Configuring the enrichment

To configure the enrichment, fill in the following fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Columns

Specify the fields whose values are to be anonymized.

Group column

Specify the field according to which anonymized data is grouped. For example, you can group anonymized data according to the date field so that you can later identify in which anonymization run the data was transferred to the destination.

Salt column

Specify the field containing the salt for the anonymization process.

Subtable

Enter the name for a subtable that you want to contain the enriched data. The enrichment is applied to the whole data extract, then the enriched data is output into the subtable you have named here.

This subtable is a temporary table, which means it only exists for this custom script. You can apply additional instructions within the same custom script to the subtable. However, the subtable cannot be used in any other custom scripts.
