Grouping fields
To group one or more fields, select the field(s), right-click and select Add group. It is also
possible to create groups within groups; this is done in the same way.
To move a field into an existing group you can simply drag and drop it into the group or onto
the name of that group.
To delete a group, right-click it and select Ungroup. The fields will be moved up one level in
the structure. To move a field out of an existing group you can also simply drag and drop it out
of that group.
To delete an empty group, right-click it and select Delete.
Using the Data Model
The Data Model is what enables you to create personalized templates in the Designer module.
You can drag & drop fields from the Data Model into the template that you are creating (see
"Variable Data" on page775). For this, you need to either have a template and a data mapping
configuration open at the same time, or import a Data Model (see "Importing/exporting a Data
Model" on page271).
The Data Model is reusable, meaning that it can be shared amongst different template layouts
and output types.
Different data mapping configurations could use the same Data Model, allowing a template to
be populated with data from different sources and formats, without the need to modify the
template (see "Importing/exporting a Data Model" on page271).
In Workflow, when a data mapping configuration is used to extract data from a data source
(see "Data mapping configurations" on page211), the extracted data is stored in a record set in
the OLConnect database.
Adding fields and data via Workflow
The Data Model is not extensible outside of the DataMapper. When it is used in Workflow - as
part of a data mapping configuration - the contents of its fields can be updated but not its
structure.
There are a number of instances however, where fields may need to be added to the data
model after the initial data mapping operation has been performed. For instance, you might
need to add a cleansed postal address next to the original address, or retrieve a value from a
database and add it to the record.
