Log into to the Rapid4Cloud platform. At top of the dashboard menu, click ‘more’ and select ‘download’. The dashboard may look a little different to the screen shown as it varies based on the number of products subscribed to
In the download window, select the product ‘RAPIDTest’ and select the appropriate Oracle version. It is important to select the correct Oracle version as the template formats may vary between the versions.
After selecting the Oracle version, the list of module templates will display in ‘Files’. Select Cash Management or Receivables module template(s) and it will download as an excel file. 
For the purposes of this TRIAL only CASH MANAGEMENT or RECEIVABLES should be selected as they have been setup to work with the Oracle Vision Demo data.
Once downloaded from the platform, open the template and you will notice that within each module template, there are 4 sheets provided.
1.2 EXPLANATION OF THE MODULES TEMPLATES
Within each module templates, there will be 4 sheets provided for your use.
- Prerequisites: provides a list of requirements that are needed to work with your instance however these have already been taken care of for your trial.
- Scenarios: show the scenario name and scenario process description that is available for that specific module. Users can use this to better understand each scenario process. Each scenario can be enabled or disabled depending upon what needs to be tested.
- Data required sheet: this is where the data specific to each test run needs to be entered.
- Bold values: are to show that these values are unique, they need to be changed and be different every test run. As data entered into each field must be compliant with Oracle’s rules and must not have been used before. We recommend using a naming convention such as name initials, module name and follow with a number [RT_CM_01 or RTCM 01] so that the data can be easily located and understood. Also, if it is needed to rerun multiple times, users can change the unique data from RTCM 01 [which is already used] to RTCM 02 and so on.
- Regular values: are values that only needed to be input once, and don’t need to be changed unlike the unique values. For the purpose of the TRIAL, the users must copy the values from the Example data column to the Value column and use that data to run the testing.
- Data default sheet: are the global data. It is not mandatory for users to manually input values into this sheet. All data in this sheet should not be changed.
*Note that all information provided within each sheet will be different depending on the modules template.
