Tip
If you have no data at hand, download a demo from http://demo.objectiflune.com and
open a dummy data file to test with.
Loading a Data Mapping Configuration
If you have used the DataMapper first, you probably already have an open Data Mapping
Configuration. Its Data Model and sample data will automatically be used when you start
creating a template. You might have to click the Synchronize Model button on the Data Model
pane, to update the fields.
To open a Data Mapping Configuration:
1.
Open the Welcome screen: click the Home icon at the top right or select Help >
Welcome on the menu.
2.
Click Open an existing configuration.
3. Select the Data Mapping Configuration and open it.
4. At the top of the workspace, click the tab with the name of the template's section to go
back to the template.
5.
Click the button Synchronize model at the top of the Data Model pane to reload the data
model.
Note
The EXTRADATA field that appears as the first field in each record and in each detail table is
automatically added to the Data Model by the DataMapper. It offers the possibility to add extra data
to an existing Data Model, for example when Workflow has to perform a lookup to retrieve a value
from a database and add that value to a new field in the Data Model.
The EXTRADATA field can be added to the template just like any other data field (see "Variable
Data" on page534). When it contains a JSON string, this value can be read with a script (see
"loadjson()" on page801).
Note
When generating output with just a Data Mapping Configuration, the template is merged with the
