From the file data generation method

This generation method enables users to use text local or web-based file as a data source. If the column defines a group the correct value separator should be defined.

There are settings for this data generation method:

  • "Value" separator is useful for group definition.
  • "Use values sequentially" option means the program will use list items from the first to the last. When the list ends the program starts from the first item again.
