Detail tables
A detail table is a field in the Data Model that contains a record set instead of a single value.
Detail tables contain transactional data. They are created when an Extract step is added within
a Repeat step; see "Extracting transactional data" on page124.
In the most basic of transactional communications, a single detail table is sufficient. However, it
is possible to create multiple detail tables, as well as nested tables. Detail tables and nested
tables are displayed as separate levels in the Data Model (see "The Data Model" on page151).
Renaming a detail table
Renaming detail tables is especially useful when there are more detail tables in one record, or
when a detail table contains another detail table. For this detail table, products’ would be a
better name.
1. On the Data Model pane, click one of the fields in the detail table.
2.
On the Step Properties pane, under Extraction Definition, in the Data Table field, you
can find the name of the detail table: record.detail by default. Change the detail part in
that name into something else.
Note
A detail table’s name should always begin with record.’.
3. Click somewhere else on the Step Properties pane to update the Data Model. You will
see the new name appear.
