Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets you write comments about the task. These
comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OK button and are displayed in the
Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in "The Process area" on page769 with
the default color, set in the Preferences (see "General appearance preferences" on page659),
or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option
off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight
button on the View ribbon.
Execute Data Mapping
The Execute Data Mapping action task generates a record set by executing a data mapping
configuration on a data source. It can also automatically create a record set from a PDF/VT file
without using a data mapping configuration.
Input
Optional. Both main options can refer to external files, but either one can be the active data file
using %F. By default the Data Source is set to use the active data file as input.
Note
To open a Microsoft Access database, you have to use the Load External File task just before the
Execute Data Mapping task.
Processing
The task executes the selected data mapping configuration on the appropriate data source, or
converts the PDF/VT into a Record Set directly.
