Record navigation
Records can be navigated via the Data Model pane. The default record level navigates
between records both in the Data Model pane and the Data Viewer, while each detail table has
a similar navigation that influences that table and each detail table under it.
l Expand/Contract: Click to hide or show any fields or tables under the current table level
or in the current group (see "Grouping fields" on page270).
l Table Name: Displays the name of the table as well as the number of records at that level
(in [brackets]). At the record level this is the number of records. In other levels it represents
the number of entries in a detail table.
l Number of Records: The number of available records in the active data sample. This is
affected by the Boundary settings (see "Record boundaries" on page227 and "Settings
pane" on page323) and the Preprocessor step ("Preprocessor step" on page255).
l First Record: Go to the first record in the data sample. This button is disabled if the first
record is already shown.
l Previous Record: Go to the previous record in the data sample. This button is disabled if
the first record is shown.
l Current Record: Displays the current record or table entry. Type a record number and
press the Enter key to display that record. The number has to be within the number of
available records in the data sample.
l Next Record: Go to the next record in the data sample. This button is disabled if the last
record is shown.
l Last Record: Go to the last record in the data sample. This button is disabled if the last
record is already shown. If a record limit is set in the Settings pane ("Settings pane" on
page323) the last record will be within that limit.
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 page238.
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267).
