Use mock data with ds.test

The ds.test data source is used for sample data.

ds.test data sources can only be created in the source editor

You create column events and field values manually. The column and field options order are unimportant, but you must have the same number of column values as field names. ds.test is commonly structured similarly to this data source that visualizes monthly sales across multiple geographical regions.
