Browsing data
When a Data Model is loaded in the Data Model Pane, it can be used to design templates by
dragging fields directly into the template; see "Variable Data" on page785. If data is present
(from a data file or a data mapping configuration), it is possible to preview the resulting data in
the template on the Preview tab (see Workspace).
You can use the following keys to browse records in the Data Model pane:
l Page Up: next record
l Page Down: previous record
l Home: first record
l End: last record.
The way the Data Model is displayed can be changed via the following options in the
contextual menu. Right-click the Data Model to open the contextual menu.
l
Collapse All: Collapse all fields on the record level, in all detail tables and in all groups.
l
Expand All: Expand all fields on the record level, in all detail tables and in all groups.
The record, detail tables and groups can also be expanded and collapsed using the arrow icon
next to them.
Changing the Data Model
By adding fields to a Data Model, setting their type and entering a (default) value, you may
construct or modify a Data Model without having to create or open a data mapping
configuration. This is especially useful when a solution does not require a data mapping
configuration.
