When opening the web application the configuration view is displayed. The user can immediately begin to configure a generation process. First, a connection to a HANA instance has to be established. Therefore valid credentials have to be entered into the fields on the upper side of the screen. After clicking on "Connect" the field for choosing a schema should be enabled.

If not, it is very likely that the HANA credentials which were entered are not correct or connectivity is not given. A schema can now be chosen by entering its name in the corresponding field. When a database schema has been chosen, the table input field gets enabled and allows to select a table within the schema. User input is automatically completed by the system according to the schemas and tables within HANA.

After selecting a table the user can enter the amount of values that are to be generated. An overview of the columns within the table, as well as some new controls appear on the screen. The user can now choose whether he wants to insert new data into this table, or update existing data. When updating data in a table, the user has to choose an ID column and specify the starting point (specific ID). When selecting insert mode the current content of the table can either be truncated or the new data is generated on top of the existing.

By activating the "Best guess" option Populaid suggests proper generators for the table's columns visualized below. A preview for every column is shown. All generators can be manipulated by clicking on the button below the corresponding column preview. If parameters of a generator attached to column are changed, the preview automatically adjusted.

By clicking on "Generate" the user can finish the configuration process and the data generation begins. After automatically being redirected to the dashboard of Populaid the user can see an overview of the currently running jobs by means of a graph visualizing the throughput per second. Additionally a more detailed overview including the current state and the time left for each job is displayed. After a job has been finished it remains in the list can be removed manually.
