Modifying the Data Model
It is possible to modify the fields within the Data Model pane, effectively generating data
models, even if no data is present in the pane. To do this, use the contextual menu within the
pane itself. The following options appear depending on the selected line when right-clicking:
l
Add a field: Click to add a new field at the current level (record or table). Enter the field
name in the dialog and click OK to add it.
l
Add a table: Click to add a new table at the current level (record or existing table). Enter
the table name in the dialog and click OK to add it.
l
Rename: Click to rename the selected table or field. Enter the new name and click OK to
rename. Only available for empty Data Model Fields (see below) tables that only contain
them.
l
Delete: Click to delete the selected table or field. Only available for empty Data Model
Fields or tables that only contain them.
l
Set Type: Use the list to select which the field type (see Data Types). Only available for
empty Data Model Fields or tables that only contain them.
l
Default Value: Click to set the default value for empty Data Model Fields. This value is
used if no extraction is present, or if an extraction attached to this field returns no value.
Field Display
Fields in the Data Model pane are displayed in specific ways to simplify comprehension of the
display data:
l
Value: The current value of the extracted field, based on the current Source Record.
l
The column on the left displays the name of the field. The column on the right displays
the extracted data if it exists.
l
The column on the right displays the current valueof the extracted field based on the
current Source Record, when anExtract Step has an extraction for this field.
l
The icon to the left of the name indicates the Data Type of the field (see Data Types).
l
A field name with an asterisk to the right indicates that this field is part of an imported
Data Model file (called a Data Model Field).
l
A field with a grey background indicates this Data Model Field does not have any
attached extracted data.
