Step manipulation
Note
All steps except the Action step require an active data selection in the Data Viewer (see "Selecting
data" on page258 and "The Data Viewer" on page338).
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 create a custom JavaScript snippet. See
"DataMapper Scripts API" on page396 for more details.
