l
Synchronize Data Model: Click to synchronize the data model with the one currently
loaded in the open Data Mapping Configuration. Disabled if no configuration is currently
open.
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 page510. 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).
You can use the following keys to browse records in the Data Model pane:
l Page Up: next record
l Page Down: previous record
l Home: first record
l End: last record.
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 page559).
