    • Table. Select a table from which the value will be generated.
    • To access the table content, click on the Edit Table button. If you change the table content, the new table content will appear in the profile you select.
    • Restrict to values between. Will only use table entries that are within the specified limits.
    • Include random blanks. Allowing random blanks will mean that you generate empty strings among the values for use in the field or data type.
