The Data Model is also used as a navigation tool between records and all tables.
Adding Data
Beyond the methods for adding data described in the Steps Pane and the Data Viewer, there is
a specific way to add an Extract step directly into the Data Model pane, which is drag & drop.
Dragging a data selection (text and PDF) or a field (CSV, XML and Database) into the Data
Model pane will automatically add the appropriate extraction method into a specific location.
There are some specific tricks and limitations, however:
l
If no Extract step is currently selected in the Steps Pane, a new Extract step is created. If
an Extract step is selected, new Extract Fields are added to this existing step.
l Dragging a data selection or fields into a specific level of the Data Model (Record or detail
tables) will add the fields to that level.
l When dragging data into a detail table, the Extract Step must be located within the
appropriate Repeat Step, otherwise the extract will not function properly.
l If a Data Model is loaded into the Data Model Pane, when dragging named fields (CSV,
XML, Database), if a field of the same name exists in that level, the extract field extract the
data to that field, otherwise it creates a new one.
l Dragging a single field onto a Data Model field will extract to that field regardless of name.
