Extended Functions → Using REST Data Sources → Edit Sample REST Data Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to view and modify sample data for the REST service.
This is especially useful if SBM Composer cannot connect to the data source. You can type or paste the data into this box so you can configure the data source or widget. The data source must be available at runtime, however.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Sample data | Initially shows data from the REST service
based on the URL and any URL parameters. You can manually modify the data as
needed.
If you receive an error indicating that the remote service cannot be found, you can manually paste or import sample data into this box. Do this only if you are sure that your REST URL and parameters are correct. |
| Import | Click to import data from an external file. Contents must be in either XML or JSON format. |
| Format | Select to properly format data you add or import. This option is useful for troubleshooting validation errors since the problem is typically shown where formatting is incorrect. |
| Line/Column Information | Shows line and column information for the cursor location. |
