- Files
  You add a file to a project to use it as input in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project from the Files tab to generate test data. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
- Connections
  A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a project or write data from a source to a target. Multiple actions can use the same connection. You can define both connections and actions at the project level.
- Schema design
  A schema is a graphical data dictionary that contains metadata definitions of the structure of a document to generate test data. Schema provides visual cues for understanding the structure and complete definition of an object.
  - Introduction to schema design
    Use the Schemas tab to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
  - Type properties
    The properties of a type define the characteristics of the data objects of that type.
  - Item restrictions
    Item restrictions are an optional feature you can use to specify valid or invalid data objects for an item type. Item restrictions are grouped into three categories: Value, Character, and Range.
  - Components
  - Partitioning
  - Type inheritance
  - Schema analyzer
  - Distinguishable objects

SERIESTOTEXT

You can use the SERIESTOTEXT function to project your input data as a series and to interpret it as a text item for output.

SERIESTOTEXT converts a contiguous or non-contiguous series to a text item.

Syntax:: SERIESTOTEXT (series-object-expression)
Meaning:: SERIESTOTEXT (series_to_convert)
Returns:: A single text item

SERIESTOTEXT returns a text item containing the concatenation of the series of the input argument, including nested delimiters but excluding initiators and terminators.

Examples

In this example, you have the following data that represents bowler information for a bowling league:

Andrews, Jessica:980206:JBC:145:138:177:159

Little, Randy:980116:BBK:175:168

Wayne, Richard:980102:JBC:185:204:179:164:212

Each record consists of the bowler's name, the date of their last game played, a team code and one or more bowling scores. Record is defined as a group that is infix-delimited by a colon.

Using the rule:

= SERIESTOTEXT (Score Field:Bowler:Input)

the following results are produced, which is the concatenation of all of the scores for all of the bowlers, even though the scores are not all contiguous within the data:

145138177159175168185204179164212

However, if the rule was changed, for instance, to concatenate the list of scores to the bowler's name:

= BowlerName Field:Bowler:Input + " ->" + SERIESTOTEXT (Score Field:Bowler:Input)

the following output would be produced:

Andrews, Jessica -> 145138177159

Little, Randy -> 175168

Wayne, Richard -> 185204179164212

In this example, you have an input number that is of variable size, followed by a name. There is no syntax that separates the number from the name. You can define the number as a group with Byte(s) as a component and provide a component rule for Byte(s), such as:

ISNUMBER ($)
