Generate and export a random UUID batch
Generate three UUID v4 values, change their presentation and download the same batch as JSON.
For operators
Generate three UUID v4 values, change their presentation and download the same batch as JSON. This is isolated practice with invented records. Nothing is uploaded or written into a live system.
Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

A JSON array gives another program a list of quoted identifier strings. The batch stays the same.
