Hi, another easy way to get dummy data is to create a csv-file and to use the JDBC BI-Kit (Menu --> Bi --> SQL Editor...). You can then model a demo of the UI with some dummy data. However, you will have to remodel some parts of the application. Especially form fields disappear, as soon as you remove the data service.

That's difficult.

The best is if you have access to the database or a copy of the database, even if there are no values available. Then at least you can create the dataservices and see the fields for your forms, tables etc.

If you try any other form, like creating a fake database, then you basically have to remodel the complete application lateron.

You can store dummy values always through formulas, or by using a different database (e.g. a copy) where you maintain dummy data.
