Sample data

Sample data can be imported into your instance of Service Management. The Sample Data menu option (under Administration > Utilities) appears only if you have the Tenant Admin role.

The following types of data can be imported:

  • Sample users, groups, and locations
  • A sample service catalog that contains categories, services, and offerings
  • Micro Focus-provided knowledge articles
  • Sample IT records such as user requests, incidents, changes, and problems
  • Assets and configuration management records such as services, assets, and devices

The data imported as sample data is indistinguishable from data entered into the system.

Once the sample data is deployed, the button in the Sample Data page becomes disabled.

The Tenant Admin receives notification via email when a new tenant is created. This mail includes a link to the Sample Data page where the data can be deployed onto the new tenant.

Caution If you deploy the sample data, it cannot be undeployed. You can delete individual pieces of data, such as knowledge articles and records, but you cannot reverse the deploy.
