Using the Data Model
When a Data Model is loaded inside of the Data Model Pane, it can be used to design
templates by dragging the fields directly into the template; see "Variable Data" on page497. If
data is present (from a Data Model File or a Data Mapping Configuration), it is possible to
preview the resulting data in the template using the Preview tab (see Workspace).
Importing a Data Model
There are three different ways to import a Data Model into a Template to help designing it.
Importing a Data Model File
Importing a Data Model File displays the file's data model structure into the Data Model Pane,
with optional sample data for each field. To import a data model file, click the Import button at
the top of the Data Model Pane.
Synchronizing Data Models
If a Data Mapping Configuration is open and contains fields in its record, it is possible to use
the Synchronize data models button in the pane's toolbar to retrieve the model currently stored
in the DataMapper Module's Data Model Pane.
Running a Data Mapping Configuration or Wizard
If executing a data mapping configuration or directly loading a data source, the resulting record
set is loaded in the Data Model Pane. See "Loading data" on page488.
Problems and messages
Messages Pane
The Messages pane is shared between the DataMapper and Designer modules and displays
any warnings and errors from the data mapping configuration or template.
To open it in the Designer module, click the Messages button at the bottom right of the window
(see "Designer User Interface" on page546).
