l Delete the selected condition:Click to delete the currently selected
conditions in the list.

This will load its rules into the list.
l

l Rule Viewer:Displays a text-based view of the condition using operators and
parentheses.
l Sort contents:Defines how records are sorted.
l Sort items based on: Displays the current sorting method. To modify
the sorting method, click on the [...] button at the right of the box to open
the Sort Parameters dialog.
l Metadata:Uses existing metadata, generally the output of a Create Record Set or a
Retrieve Entities task set to retrieve Records or Record Sets. This source has no
options as it expects valid metadata.
l PDF/VT with Content Creation:Expects a PDF/VTfile as an input and executes
basic data mapping on the file. This is the same as using the passthrough option in
the Create Record Set task. Content Items are created automatically. When this
source is selected, the Content Creation tab is disabled.
l
Do not store records in database (faster): Persisting records in between Data Mapping
and Content creation is costly in terms of performance. In many instances, the user don't
need those records to be stored in the database once the job has been output. When this
option is selected, the Data Mapping and Content Creation processes run significantly
faster. It also have a significant impact on the cleanup service since it will not have to deal
with as many records.
However, if the option is checked, the user cannot do post-processing on the extracted
data since they are not stored in the database. For example, if the user intends to retrieve
data from the database and send them to a sorting/cleaning system of postal addresses,
this option should not be checked. If the user wants to add a field or edit existing data, it is
impossible unless such data is already in the database. The option is unchecked by
default.
