Quick Start

These are the steps to generate and load Synthetic Data.

Step 1​

Complete your Setup, as described in the previous page. After Setup you will have:

  • The Data Tools Plugin to import datasets
  • A Local Store to save Schemas and Datasets

Step 2​

Make a connection to Capella Operational or Couchbase Server

  • This is necessary for loading data
  • You can defer this for later if you plan just generating schemas and datasets.

Step 3​

Build your first Schema as described by the Schema Builder page

  • Play around with the different data types
  • Try nested JSON and JSOn Arrays
  • Try a few Expressions with Functions

Step 5​

Generate you dataset as described in the Data Generator page.

  • Generate your first dataset
  • Preview the data generated

Step 6​

Import the data as described in the Data Generator page.

  • Note that you must create the scope and collections prior to this step.

Advanced​

Create your own Typeset as described in the User Typesets page.

  • Follow Step 3 to Step 6 with your Typeset
