Dragging a data selection (text and PDF) or a field (CSV, XML and Database) into the Data
Model pane will automatically add the appropriate extraction method into a specific location.
There are some specific tricks and limitations, however:
l
If no Extract step is currently selected in the Steps Pane, a new Extract step is created. If
an Extract step is selected, new Extract Fields are added to this existing step.
l Dragging a data selection or fields into a specific level of the Data Model (Record or detail
tables) will add the fields to that level.
l When dragging data into a detail table, the Extract Step must be located within the
appropriate Repeat Step, otherwise the extract will not function properly.
l If a Data Model is loaded into the Data Model Pane, when dragging named fields (CSV,
XML, Database), if a field of the same name exists in that level, the extract field extract the
data to that field, otherwise it creates a new one.
l Dragging a single field onto a Data Model field will extract to that field regardless of name.
Modifying the Data Model
It is possible to modify the fields within the Data Model pane, effectively generating data
models, even if no data is present in the pane. To do this, use the contextual menu within the
pane itself. The following options appear depending on the selected line when right-clicking:
