Editing XML templates
Using templates for data import
If you use a template created for data export, InfoMaker expressions, text,
comments, and processing instructions are ignored when data is imported. If
you are creating a template specifically for import, do not add any of these
items. You need only map column names to element and attribute names.
Every item in the Export/Import Template view has a pop-up menu from which
you can perform actions appropriate to that item, such as editing or deleting the
item, adding or editing attributes, adding child elements or other items, and
inserting elements, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and so forth,
before the current item.
If an element has no attributes, you can edit its tag in the Export/Import
Template view by selecting it and left-clicking the tag or pressing F2. Literal
text nodes can be edited in the same way. You can delete items (and their
children) by pressing the Delete key.
InfoMaker expressions See “InfoMaker expressions” on page 378.
Literal text Literal text does not correspond to a control in the report.
Comments See “Comments” on page 381.
Processing instructions See “Processing instructions” on page 382.
CDATA sections See “CDATA sections” on page 381.
Attributes You can assign attributes to all element types. See
“Attributes” on page 378.
