### 18.1.1 Accessing Read-only Sample Data When Creating or Editing a Page

Access read-only sample data set from the Create Page Wizard and Page Designer.

Oracle APEX includes the following sample data sets: Employees, Geolocation, and Time-Based data. Note that these sample data sets are read-only and available from both the Create Page Wizard and from Page Designer.

Tip:

You can create most page components on top of these sample data sets (including forms and editable interactive grids). However, since these data sets are read-only, Insert, Update, or Delete operations result in an error message.

To select a sample data set in the Create Page Wizard:

1. On the Workspace home page, click App Builder.
2. Select an application.
   The Application home page appears.
3. Click the Create Page button.

   The Create Page Wizard appears.

4. Select a page Component.
5. If a built-in sample data set is available and suitable for the component, the Data Source displays Sample Data.
6. Continue configuring your component and click Create Page.

To select a sample data set for a component in Page Designer:

7. In the Rending tab (left pane), select the component.
8. In the Property Editor (right pane), edit the following:
   1. Find Source.
   2. Source, Location - Select Sample Data.
9. Continue configuring your component.
10. Click the Save and Run Page.
