Property-based field
A property-based field is filled with the value of a property (see "Properties and runtime
parameters" on page226).
Custom properties can be added via the Preprocessor step; see "Preprocessor step" on
page249.
A property-based field cannot be added directly. To fill a field with the value of a property, you
have to change an existing field's Mode to Properties.
1. Select the field in the Data Model.
2.
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, change its Mode to Properties.
3.
Select the property from the Property drop-down list, or click the button to the right, to
open a filter dialog that lets you find a property based on the first few letters that you type.
Another way to add the value of a property to a field is by setting the field's Mode to JavaScript
and entering the corresponding property in the Expression field, e.g.
data.properties.myProperty;.
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 "Adding fields and data via Workflow" on page265.
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 "Extract step properties" on page337).
Tip
To change the name of a field quickly, right-click it in the Data Model and select Rename.
