- 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

TIMETOTEXT

You can use the TIMETOTEXT function to perform text concatenation. For greater flexibility, use the FROMDATETIME function for specifying the format of the resulting text item.

TIMETOTEX converts a time object or expression to a text item.

Syntax:: TIMETOTEXT ( single-time-expression )
Meaning:: TIMETOTEXT ( time_to_convert_to_text )
Returns:: A single text item

If time_to_convert_to_text is a time object name, this returns the time as a text item formatted according to the presentation of the input date object.

If time_to_convert_to_text is a time expression produced by a function, this returns the time as a text item formatted according to the presentation of the output argument of that function.

Examples

TIMETOTEXT ( LeadTime )
In this example, LeadTime is converted from a time to text. If LeadTime has an HH:MM presentation, the resulting text item will be of that presentation.
TIMETOTEXT ( CURRENTDATETIME ( "{HH:MM:SS}" ) )
Here, CURRENTDATETIME evaluates and returns a time in HH:MM:SS format. Then, TIMETOTEXT evaluates and returns a text string that is that time in HH:MM:SS format.
