    - Data design environment overview
      The data design environment is a graphical interface to design all its components and data generation rules to generate test data on user demand. To design the components for data generation, you must log in to Rational® Test Automation Server, and then create a project.
    - Task flows: HCL OneTest Data
      You can use the task flow diagram to get started with HCL® OneTest™ Data. After you select your project in Rational® Test Automation Server and navigate to the Data Fabrication page, you can complete the tasks in sequence to generate the test data. You can click the links to get more information about the tasks.
    - Project management
      You can create a project to manage the data design environment that is used to generate the test data. If the data design environment that you created is no longer required, then you can archive or delete the project. If you do want to use an archived project, you can unarchive it.
    - Workspace management
      You can view and manage all the data design components such as files, connections, or schema of your project on the Workspace page.
      - Importing a project or components
        When you have a project or any component of a project into your local file system and you want to reuse it for another project, you can import those artifacts from the local file system.
      - Exporting a project or components
        When you want to reuse your existing project for another project, you can export either the selected components or an entire project to your local file system.
