JSON Sample Data toolbar button on the Data Model pane.

the box below the file name.
3. Review the JSON; you may edit it if you like.
4.
Select the Replace Data Model option if you want the JSON to replace the existing Data

Values are converted to text strings. If a value in a record object is another JSON

Add a counter using the Generate Counter Wizard
Generating a counter is useful for numbered tickets or any other template requiring sequential
numbers but no variable data.
The Generate Counter Wizard creates a record set with a Counter field and in that field, the
current counter value for each record. The Counter starts and stops at set values and is
incremented by a set value as well.
1.
To open the Generate Counter Wizard, select File > Add data > Generate counters.
2. Adjust the settings:
l
Starting value: The starting number for the counter. Defaults to 1.
l
Increment value: The value by which to increment the counter for each record. For
example, an increment value of 3 and starting value of 1 would give the counter
values of 1, 4, 7, 10, [...]
l
Number of records: The total number of counter records to generate. This is not
the end value but rather the total number of actual records to generate.
l
Padding character: Which character to add if the counter's value is smaller than
the width.
