Adding fields dynamically
Outside of the DataMapper the Data Model cannot be changed. It isn't possible to add fields to
it when using the data mapping configuration in Workflow. It is however possible to add data to
existing fields via Workflow; see "About adding fields and data via Workflow" on page154.
Editing fields
The list of fields that are included in the extraction, the order in which fields are extracted and
the data format of each field, are all part of the Extract step's properties. These can be edited via
the Step properties pane (see "Settings for location-based fields in a Text file" on page221).
Renaming and ordering fields
The order and the names of fields in the Data Model can be changed via the properties of the
Extract step that they belong to.
1. Select the Extract step that contains the fields that you want to rename. To do this you
could click on one of those fields in the Data Model, or on the step in the Steps pane.
2.
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the Order and rename fields
button.
See "Order and rename fields dialog" on page224.
Note
Fields cannot have the same name, unless they are on a different level in the record.
If you intend to use the field names as metadata in a Workflow process, do not add
spaces to field names, as they are not permitted in metadata field names.
