If the data type Extended Person Name (XPN) is part of the list of data
types to de-identify, you might need to preserve some of the fields using this data
type.

Use Case #3
-
|
Prevent de-identifying a field that is defined as a ID
|
| Field IDs must have a generator associated with them but, if for some reason you prefer having the original value, you can set this to avoid any changes in that value. |
Use Case #4
-
|
Re-use the original data and combine it with other generators
|
| In Advanced Mode, you can de-identify the original value by specifying several generators, but you could also include the original value to combine it with other generated values. |
