Step Manipulation
Note
All steps except JavaScript require an active data selection in the Data Viewer.
l
Add Extract Step : Adds an Extract Step with one or more extract fields. If more than
one line or field is selected in the Data Viewer, each line or field will have an extract field.
l
Add Goto Step : Adds a Goto step that moves the selection pointer to the beginning of
the data selection. For instance if an XML node is selected, the pointer moves to where
that node is located.
l
Add Condition Step : Adds a condition based on the current data selection. The
"True" branch gets run when the text is found on the page. Other conditions are available
in the step properties once it has been added.
l
Add Repeat Step : Adds a loop that is based on the current data selection, and
depending on the type of data. XML data will loop on the currently selected node, CSV
loops for all rows in the record. In Text and PDF data, if the data selection is on the same
line as the cursor position, the loop will be for each line until the end of the record. If the
data selection is on a lower line, the loop will be for each line until the text in the data
selection is found at the specified position on the line (e.g. until "TOTAL" is found).
l
Add Extract Field : Adds the data selection to the selected Extract step, if an extract
step is currently selected. If multiple lines, nodes or fields are selected, multiple extract
fields are added simultaneously.
l
Add Multiple Conditions : Adds a condition that splits into multiple case conditions.
l
Add Action Step : Adds a step to create a custom JavaScript snippet. See the
DataMapper API for more details.
l
Cut Step : Removes the currently selected step and places it in the clipboard. If the
step is a Repeat or a Condition, all steps under it are also placed in the clipboard. If there
is already a step in the clipboard, it will be overwritten.
l
Copy Step : Places a copy of the currently selected step in the clipboard. The same
details as the Cut step applies.
l
Paste Step : Takes the step or steps in the clipboard and places them after the
currently selected step.
