Data Menu
l
Hide/Show datamap: Click to show or hide the icons to the left of the Data Viewer that
displays how the steps affect the line.
l
Hide/Show extracted data: Click to show or hide the extraction selections indicating that
data is extracted. This simplifies making data selections in the same areas and is useful
to display the original data.
l
Validate All Records: Runs the Steps on all records and verifies that no errors are
present in any of the records. Errors are displayed in the Messages Pane.
Steps
l
Ignore Step: Click to set the step to be ignored (aka disabled). Disabled steps do not run
when in DataMapper and do not execute when the data mapping configuration is
executed in Workflow. However, they can still be modified normally.
l
Add Extract Step: Adds an Extract Step with one or more extract fields. If more than one
line or field is selected in the Data Viewer, each line or field will have an extract field.
l
Add Goto Step: Adds a Goto step that moves the selection pointer to the beginning of the
data selection. For instance if an XML node is selected, the pointer moves to where that
node is located.
l
Add Condition Step: Adds a condition based on the current data selection. The "True"
branch gets run when the text is found on the page. Other conditions are available in the
step properties once it has been added.
l
Add Repeat Step: Adds a loop that is based on the current data selection, and
depending on the type of data. XML data will loop on the currently selected node, CSV
loops for all rows in the record. In Text and PDF data, if the data selection is on the same
line as the cursor position, the loop will be for each line until the end of the record. If the
data selection is on a lower line, the loop will be for each line until the text in the data
selection is found at the specified position on the line (e.g. until "TOTAL" is found).
l
Add Extract Field: Adds the data selection to the selected Extract step, if an extract step
is currently selected. If multiple lines, nodes or fields are selected, multiple extract fields
are added simultaneously.
l
Add Multiple Conditions: Adds a condition that splits into multiple case conditions.
l
Add Action Step: Adds a step to run one or more specific actions such as running a
JavaScript expression or setting the value of a Source Record Property.
