Hi Stefan,
By using Local Sheet we can achieve Modulirized Data. Imagine you have hundreds of Actions in you driver script and all are using a Data from Global Sheet
In this scenario its very difficult to tack the flow of the data.
In your case , Test has 3 actions, Login, Navigate and Some Application Specific Action say Add User action.You may want to create a test in which the Admin user logs onto the site once, Navigates to a Add User screen and Add 10 Users. The data about Users is relevant only to the Add user action, so it should be stored in the action tab corresponding to Add user action.
Global Data Sheet Usage:
1.When we want Data To be available to all the actions in our test
2.When we want our data to control Test iterations.
Local Data Sheet Usage:
1.When we want to use the data in Local Data Table for that action only.
2.When we want the data to control the number of action iterations.
Use Relative Paths while saving your reusable actions, it will make your life much easy.
Thanks,
Rajeshwar.
