Adding sample data to a data model

To auto-generate sample data

  1. Open NoSQL Workbench, and on the main screen, click the name of the model that you want to add sample data to.

  2. Click the additional actions (three-dot icon) in the main content toolbar and select Add sample data.

  3. Enter the number of items of sample data that you would like to generate, then select Confirm.

  4. Auto-generating sample data helps you generate between 1 to 5000 rows of data for immediate use. You can specify a granular sample data type to create realistic data based on your design and testing needs. To utilize the capability to generate realistic data, you need to specify the sample data type format for your attributes in the Data modeler. See Creating a new data model for specifying sample data type formats.
