Setting a literal mask allows you to configure literal values as masked values based on the datatype. Ensure that the configured literal value is a valid value for the datatype of the column. Use the prefix L: to set up the literal mask and the masking occurs as follows:
Data type Literal mask example
Int, Int64, Decimal Using L:-1 to mask a numeric column masks the original data and displays the result as -1.
Date, Datetime, Datetime-tz Using L:01/01/1950 to mask a date or time column masks the original data and displays the result as 01/01/1950.
Character Using L:unauthorized to mask a character column masks the original data and displays the result as unauthorized.
