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.

- 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.

  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.

        The RANDDATA function returns random text based on the properties of the output type. The RAND function returns a pseudo-random integer between 0 and RAND_MAX (guaranteed to be at least 32,767). The RANDDATA function generates a valid random value of the item type that is being built when it is invoked.
      - REVERSEBYTE
      - RIGHT
      - SEED
        The SEED function primes the RAND and RANDDATA functions so they produce repeated results.

RIGHT

You can use RIGHT when you need a specific part of a text item. For example, a customer number might have several uses and sometimes only the last three characters are needed. RIGHT can be used to return only the rightmost three characters.

The RIGHT function returns a specified number of characters from a text expression beginning with the rightmost byte of a text item.

Syntax:: RIGHT (single-text-expression , single-integer-expression)
Meaning:: RIGHT (text_to_extract_from , number_of_characters_to_extract)
Returns:: A single text item

RIGHT returns the rightmost number_of_characters_to_extract characters from text_to_extract_from starting at the last (the rightmost) character in text_to_extract_from.

If number_of_characters_to_extract evaluates to an integer whose value is less than 1, RIGHT evaluates to "none". If number_of_characters_to_extract evaluates to an integer whose value is greater than the size of text_to_extract_from, RIGHT evaluates to the entire value of text_to_extract_from.

Examples

RIGHT ("Abcd" , 2)
Returns cd
RIGHT ("Abcd" , 6)
Returns Abcd
RIGHT ("000000" + NUMBERTOTEXT (TransactionNum), 6)
If TransactionNum contains 123, this example returns 000123. If TransactionNum contains 123456789, this example returns 456789.
