Lists

Mockaroo gives you two options for generating data based on a list:

Random

The "random" options simply selects an item at random from the list when generating each row. Multiple lists that use this option operate independently. For example, imagine you have the following fields:Each row will contain a random item from each lists. The data will be unordered and different each time. For example, you'd get something like:

Transaction Type	Product
Online	Mouse
In Store	Keyboard
In Store	USB Drive
Online	USB Drive
In Store	Mouse
Online	USB Drive

Sequential

The "sequential" option steps through the list in order from start to finish and then back to the start again.This will produce a result where both lists are iterated in order:

Transaction Type	Product
In Store	Keyboard
Online	Mouse
In Store	USB Drive
Online	Keyboard
In Store	Mouse
Online	USB Drive

Cartesian

Cartesian is similar to sequential, except that any subsequent lists that also have cartesian selectedwill be traversed in a nested fashion. For example, consider the following fields:This will generate data in the specific order in which items appear in each list. The result is the product of all possible combinations of the two lists. Values are grouped in the order in which the lists appear in the schema:

Transaction Type	Product
In Store	Keyboard
In Store	Mouse
In Store	USB Drive
Online	Keyboard
Online	Mouse
Online	USB Drive
