-Once you have the fields defined, you can generate the dataset for the fields by clicking on the //regenerate// link.+//DataTable// displays the output of the execution of [[#Combinatorial Algorithm]].
  
- +To generate //DataTable//, select an algorithm from //Overall Strength// drop-down list and click start button next to it.

     * pairwise     * pairwise

-You can remove unwanted rows by clicking on {{http://testoptimal.com/img/delete.png}}. Each field in the datatable can be edited as you wish. 
  
-If you have verification field(s), they will be left blank. You can enter the appropriate values for each row. The results will be saved if //Persistence// checkbox is checked.+You may customize /edit //DataTable// under exceptional cases.   
 +  * remove rows - invalid permutations (rows) 
 +  * add rows - additional required permutations 
 +  * edit values - change value, usually done for derived variables
  
-During the model execution, the dataset will be loaded and traversed. Besides the option to traverse the datatable sequentially or randomly as described above, you can also control the sequence of which row to be used first programmatically in mScript by setting the user variable //dataset name//_idx.+Be aware that any changes to //DataTable// will affect the coverage, and the changes made will be lost next time //DataTable// is re-generated.
