Sample Data

Sample Data drives development in the Translator. It is key to working efficiently when building or editing interfaces.

Sample data powers the visibility provided by the Annotation Windows and The string viewing window

In the Translator, you can add sample data to your project as follows:

Click on the Add Sample Data button on the Translator menu bar

Add your Sample data, give it a name, and click the ADD button

There are three options to add your sample data:

Copy paste your sample data in the Data box.
Use From File to import a sample data file.
Use From Component Log to import messages from any components logs to use as a sample.

Now you can easily access, edit and manage your sample data in the Project Tree

All sample data is stored in the Project’s Sample Data folder.

You can navigate through sample messages to test with the Annotation Window

You can quickly navigate through many sample messages to test your code against different message types or against messages with missing and/or invalid data. See the Annotation Windows for more on how it leverages Sample Data.
