Detail Tables
Detail tables contain transactional data that is created when an Extract step is added within a
Repeat step.
In the most basic of transactional systems, a single detail table is used. However, it is possible
to create multiple detail tables, as well as nested tables. When detail and nested tables are
present in the record, they are displayed as separate levels in the Data Model (see The Data
Model Interface for more information).
Multiple detail tables
Multiple detail tables are useful when more than one type of transactional data is necessary, for
instance if two different type of fields are used for different types of data. One example of this
would be invoice data containing purchases (items with a set price, quantity, item number) as
well as services (service with a price, frequency, contract end date, etc).
Creating more than one detail table is simple. Click the Extract steps and change the name of
tables from record.details to something else. In the following example, we will create two
tables called record.purchases and record.services.
