User-Defined Synthetic Data Format

When creating a synthetic datasource, the user may add common field formats like:

1. First Name
2. LastName
3. Email Address
4. Domain
5. Web Site
6. City
7. State
8. Street Name
9. Verb
10. Noun
11. Adjective
12. Adverb
13. Integer
14. Decimal
15. Letter
16. Date
17. SSN
18. User-Defined

Suppose you want to create an Address in a field like: "1234 Mockingbird St.".

For this, you could use a User-Defined field Type, and compose a custom format for the data substitutions.  The format can be defined by using:

1. # - for digits
2. T - for capital letters
3. t - for lowercase letters

For example:

#### Ttttttttt S\t.

Notice that I used \t to generate a lowercase t every time in the abbreviation for Street "St.".  So, the "####" generates 4 random digits.  The "T" generates a single capital letter.  The "tttttttt" generates 8 random lower case letters.  Then , as mentioned, "S\t." generates "St." every time.

This will yield random data values similar to the following:
