Description

A new Generator can be assigned to more than one Attribute at once through the Domain Dashboard. When a new Generator is assigned using this method, you will also be able to make changes to the assigned Generator's Parameters for each Attribute in the same dialog window. 


For example, let's say you have a firstName and lastName Attribute. These two Attributes will be using the same Generator to generate the required synthetic test data. In this example, the default assigned Generator is the SimplePatternGen Generator, which will need to be replaced with the NameGen Generator for both Attributes.

The current configuration for the firstName Attribute is shown below:
