elements is extracted. You can see this on the Step properties pane, as long as the
Repeat step is selected on the Steps pane. In the Collection field, you will find the
corresponding node path.
Tip
It is possible to edit the Xpath in the Collection field, to include or exclude elements
from the loop. One example of this is given in a How-to: Using Xpath in a Repeat
step.
The example in the How-to uses the starts-with() function. For an overview of
XPath functions, see Mozilla: XPath Functions.
The Goto step isn't used in XML extraction workflows The DataMapper moves through the
file using Xpath, a path-like syntax to identify and navigate nodes in an XML document.
2. (Optional.) Add an empty detail table via the Data Model pane: right-click the Data Model
and select Add a table. Give the detail table a name.
3. Select the Repeat step on the Steps pane.
4. Extract the data: inside a repeating element, select the data that you want to extract. Then
right-click the selected nodes and select Add Extraction, or drag & drop them in the Data
Model.
When you drag & drop data on the name of a detail table in the Data Model pane, the data
are added to that detail table.
Dropping the data somewhere else on the Data Model pane creates a new detail table,
with a default name that you can change later on (see "Renaming a detail table" on
page193).
