Row generator and column generator

Post by reddy »

Hello Sir,

I am asking very dumb question while generating dummy row using row generator or column using column generator what type of mock data will populate.
For example i have col1 varchar,col2 integer and col3 date table definition.

Thanks for help

One of the great options you have in PX is what sort of data to generate. If you right-mouse click on one of the columns and edit the row you can choose what sort of data to populate. You can generate random values or set a list of possible values and loop through the list.

Once you've opened the Edit Row dialog from the Columns grid, you will find a property called Generator. It's possible values are cycle or alphabet. All is explained in the information pane.
Don't forget to click Apply before trying to move on.
