Data Set & Data Record Entities
The data set is the artefact produced by a data mapping operation. It holds the data that was
mapped out of the input data file. A data mapping operation produces a single data set, which
contains as many data records as there are documents.
Each data record contains a collection of data values. The data records in the data set form the
master record, or document record, which typically contains document recipient information.
The master record can also contain a collection of data tables, which form the detail records
that hold data such as invoice line items.
Each data table contains a collection of data records, where each data record contains a
collection of data values and a collection of data tables, and so on.
