If your customer has not provided sample data for you to load into the system, you will need to manually create your own sample records. What is the minimum number of records you should create in…

Two records are insufficient to demonstrate search filtering or report aggregation in a meaningful way, as nearly any query would return both records, obscuring the system's actual search capabilities.

Five records is the established minimum because search functionality in RSA Archer - including filters, keyword search, and report aggregations - requires enough data variation to demonstrate meaningful results rather than trivially returning all records. With fewer records, search and filtering behavior cannot be meaningfully distinguished, making the demonstration unconvincing to the customer.

Ten records exceeds the minimum threshold and while acceptable, is not the defined minimum best-practice figure for basic search demonstration purposes.

Twenty records goes well beyond the minimum needed and would require significantly more manual data entry effort without adding proportional demonstration value at the PoC stage.
