You can optionally choose to populate a CollectionSpace tenant with a set of sample records. These include over 2,000 authority term records for persons and organizations.

Typically you would only populate a demonstration or "play" tenant with sample records, to avoid intermingling sample records with "real" records. To populate the demonstration core tenant with sample records, you would

  • Make sure you are logged into the core tenant, 

  • go to http://<ip-address>:8180/collectionspace/tenant/core/reset

This process of adding sample data is time consuming - it can take 20 minutes or more. During that time, you will see a succession of progress messages in your browser window.

You can follow a similar pattern for all tenants.Â
