Creating some sample data

Even though we haven't added all the bells and whistles to our Radio Show table and pages, we can still use them to enter sample data. The Radio Show List page will be the easiest to use for this.

We will now revert the launch.json file to run the 50100 page, as originally defined, and then publish the extension. In the published window, we will click on New and see the following screen:

Enter the data shown in the following table so that we can see what the page looks like when it contains data. Later on, after we have added more capabilities to our table and pages, some fields will be validated, and some will be either automatically entered or available on a lookup basis. But for now, simply key in each field value. If the data we key in now conflicts with the validations we create later (such as data in referenced tables), we may have to delete this test data and enter new test data later:

No.	Radio Show Type	Description	Host Code	Host Name	Run Time
RS001	TALK	CeCe and Friends	CECE	CeCe Grace	2 hours
RS002	MUSIC	Alec Rocks and Bops	ALEC	Alec Benito	2 hours
RS003	CALL-IN	Ask Cole!	COLE	Cole Henry	2 hours
RS004	CALL-IN	What do you think?	WESLEY	Wesley Ernest	1 hour
RS005	MUSIC	Quiet Times	SASKIA	Saskia Mae	3 hours
RS006	NEWS	World News	DAAN	Daan White	1 hour
RS007	ROCK	Rock Classics	JOSEPH	Josephine Black	2 hours
RS008	TALK	Kristels Babytalks	KRIS	Kristel van Vugt	1 hour

We will use the testability framework for automated testing later in this book. A test codeunit is provided in the downloads, but for now it is recommended to key in the data manually.
