Relational Dictionaries
A relational dictionary is a database table that you use as a dictionary. You can use a relational dictionary with email address and substitution masking. Use a relational dictionary when you create generation rules for string, date, numeric, and binary datatypes.
When you add a relational dictionary, you must define the datasource.
