The descriptive information defined in the Item Descriptions Field in the Sample Data file can be plain text format, HTML text format or even file-based. The designer can therefore embed URLs into Sample Data item descriptions that provide the end-user with the means to drill into more detail concerning a specific data item or alternatively embed whole plaintext or HTML documents into an Application. Furthermore, hits on any such defined URLs can be recorded and totals for each Sample Data item displayed on the UI via Hits View.
