Alternatively, you can add fields and detail tables directly in the Data Model pane. Right-click
anywhere on the Data Model and a contextual menu will appear. Which menu items are
available depends on where you've clicked. If you right-click inside the record itself, you can
add a field or a detail table. A field will be added at the end with no extraction, while a detail
table will be added with no fields inside.
After adding a field or detail table this way, you can drag & drop data into it. Without data it is
not accessible via the Step properties pane.
Adding a JavaScript-based field

On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, enter the script in the Expression
field.
