Model pane. Depending on where you've clicked, it can contain the following options:

field name in the dialog; if you want you can change the field's data type and set a default
value. Then click OK to add it to the Data Model.

table). Enter the table name in the dialog and click OK to add it.

Rename, Delete and Set Type are only available for Data Model fields or detail tables that are not
filled via an extraction.
Fields and detail tables that are filled via an Extract step are to be changed (renamed, deleted etc.)
via the properties of that Extract step; see: "Editing fields" on page220 and "Renaming a detail
table" on page256.
l
Rename: Click to rename the selected table or field. Enter the new name and click OK to
rename.

step that references it. The DataMapper immediately discards non-required fields that are
not referenced by any Extract step.
l
Delete: Click to delete the selected table or field.
l
Set Type: Use the list to select the field type (see "Data types" on page230).
l
Default Value: Click to set the default value for a field. This value is used if no extraction
is present, or if an extraction attached to this field returns no value.
l
Collapse Fields: Collapse the fields in the selected level.
