Creating tags from data source fields
Before you can use the data from any configured source, a tag must be defined for each value.
Procedure
- Configure the specific data source as needed and generate a preview of the source data (click Refresh).
- When the data is displayed properly and the column headings appear to be correct, click the Copy column names to clipboard button.
- Open (or create) the test in which you are going to use the data source.
- In the test editor, open the Tag Data Store (right-click a test step or test phase and select Tag Data Store from the menu).
- Click the Paste tag icon in the Tag
Data Store toolbar.
The column headings from the clipboard are pasted as new tags in the Tag Data Store.
Note: By naming the fields "Emp/<field>," the tag names are automatically created with the "Emp" prefix or folder name in the data store.
