after the Data Mapping workflow has completed ("Postprocessor step" on page212).
When you create a new data mapping configuration, these steps are added automatically, but
they don't actually do anything until you configure them.
In between the Preprocessor and Postprocessor step, the workflow can contain as many steps
as needed to extract the required data.
Adding steps
Extracting data is the main way to build a data mapping workflow; see "Extracting data" on
page181.
Extract steps, Condition steps and Repeat steps can be added after selecting data in the Data
Viewer.
All steps can be added via the Steps pane:
1.
In the extraction workflow on the Steps pane, select the step after which to add the new
step.
2.
Right-click on the Steps pane and select Add a Step; then select one of the step types.
To add a first Step inside a Repeat or Condition structure, click on the initial step of the
Repeat/Condition structure. This highlights the entire structure and any Step you add now
would be positioned immediately after the structure. Click once more on the structure's initial
step to highlight it alone. The next Step added will now be positioned as the first child inside
the structure.
Editing steps
The properties of each step in the extraction workflow become visible in the Step properties
pane when you select that step in the Steps pane.
The name of each step is shown in the Steps pane. You can change it under Description in
the Step properties pane.
The other properties are different per step type; see "Steps" on page202.
Rearranging steps
To rearrange steps, simply drag & drop them somewhere else on the dotted line in the Steps
pane.
Alternatively you may right-click on a step and select Cut Step or use the Cut button in the
Toolbar. If the step is Repeat or Condition, all steps inside it will also be placed on the
