IFS Cloud Example Data

Is there a process to get the system populated with example, demo, or dummy data?

We are new to IFS Cloud, and will be starting our implementation process with our partner soon. However, we would like to be able to see what a basic setup would look like.

Our prior ERP system had an example database which had the minimal setup with some dummy transactions. This was helpful in exploring functionality not implemented and was helpful to the development process.

@Poulton if you have access to your IFS Buildplace, you could order a DEV environment. In a matter of hours that DEV environment is up and running and it has also some dummy data: companies / sites / customers / projects / …. You can alos login with IFSAPP so you will have access to all the functionality.

 

Just keep in mind, DEV environments are short lived, so after 1 month they will be deleted automatically and you will lose any data that you created manually inside.

Hi @Marcel.Ausan, do you know if there’s a quick/easy way to add data to our DEV environment in the Buildplace?

For example, we’ve added a lot of Basic, Master and Transactional data into our BP DEV to facilitate CRIM development and testing, however whenever we have to create a new DEV, or apply a Release, we lose this data and need to re-enter manually.  Ideally we’d like to copy the data from our Use Place TEST environment and add that to Build Place DEV but we can’t find  way to do this?

@LauraB there is a functionally called Test data management for this.(its a paid addon)

Otherwise there is not really an option I am afraid
