Table of Contents


The Fill Sample Data feature can be used to quickly and easily generate test data for data points for subjects in a trial. Fill Sample Data loops through all selected subjects and will provide each data point with randomly generated data consisting of characters and/or numbers. The Fill Sample Data feature is not an available feature in the live (Secure) environment since it is not factual information being entered.
