Demonstration data

If a LiveCompare Administrator sets the DashboardDemoData field to X in the Configuration - General screen, the Dashboard screen’s charts will include demonstration data for two pipelines named __Demo Pipeline 1__ and __Demo Pipeline 2__. You can use the data to demonstrate the Dashboard screen’s charts without running any impact analyses.

LiveCompare adds the demonstration data to the charts when the Task Scheduler next runs the Tricentis LiveCompare Dashboard task on the LiveCompare server.
