2.
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the Order and rename fields
button.
3. Now you can rename and order the fields; see "Order and rename fields dialog" on
page350.
Note
About field names:
l Fields cannot have the same name, unless they are located on a different level in
the record (e.g. root level, detail table).
l 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.
Note
The order of fields in an extraction step may be different from their order in the Data
Model. To make the Data Model clearer and more manageable, you can change the
order of the fields in it and create groups of fields. See also: "Ordering and grouping fields
in the Data Model" on page272.
Setting the data type
Fields store extracted data as a String by default. The data type of a field can be changed via
the properties of the Extract step that the field belongs to.
1. Select the Extract step that contains the field. You can do this by clicking on the field in
the Data Model, or on the step in the Steps pane that contains the field.
2.
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, set the Type to the desired data type.
See "Data types" on page288 for a list of available types.
