The Export/Import Template view for XML
370 InfoMaker
Creating templates
To create a template, select the New menu item or the New Default menu item
from the pop-up menu in the Export/Import Template view.
Creating new base
templates
The New menu item creates a template that is empty except for the XML
declaration, the root element, and the first element of the row data section,
referred to as the Detail Start element. The name of the root element is the same
as the name of the report, and the default name for the Detail Start element is
the name of the root element with
_row appended.
For example, if the report is named
d_name, the default template has this
structure:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<d_name>
<d_name_row>
</d_name_row>
</d_name>
Creating new default
templates
The New Default menu item creates a template with the same contents as the
New menu item, as well as a flat structure of child elements of the Detail Start
element. A child element is created for each report column name, in the order
in which the columns appear in the
SELECT statement, with the exception of
blob and computed columns. The default tag for the element is the column’s
name.
If the names of the column and the control are the same, the content of the child
element displays with a control reference icon. If there is no control name that
matches the column name, the content of the child element displays using the
InfoMaker expression icon. For example, consider a report in which the
dept_id
column is used as a retrieval argument and does not display:
