## Creating sample data for users to browse

The Sample Data Tab in the Dictionaries Expert lets you create a set of custom sample data that appears to users when they browse field data. The data they see may or may not reflect actual data in the database, depending on the sample data you design.

1. While in the Crystal Dictionary Expert, click the `Sample Data` tab.
2. If the data has changed, click the `Refresh` button to retrieve a list of the new data.

3. Highlight a field that you want to make browseable from the Headings & fields in View list.
4. Click the Collect button. The selected values will be added to the `Browsed data` list.
5. To modify any of the browseable data, highlight a value, then click either `Delete` to delete the value or `Edit` to change it.

   If you clicked the Edit button, the Edit Value dialog box appears.

6. Enter the new value in the text box and click OK when finished.

   The new value appears in the Browsed data list box.

Note: Deleting and editing values in the Browsed data list box of the Sample Data Tab does not change the database file. It only changes the list of values that appears to a user whenever the Browse and Paste dialog box is opened. This allows you to customize the look of the data when users browse data, without actually changing the data that is reported on.
