l Drag & drop data into it. The field will be converted into a location-based field and is then
accessible via the Step properties pane.
l Fill the field with an Action step (see Extracting data with a script). Fields that are filled
this way are not accessible via the Step properties pane.
Adding fields dynamically
Outside of the DataMapper the Data Model cannot be changed. It isn't possible to add fields to
it when using the data mapping configuration in an automated process. It is however possible
to add data to existing fields via Workflow; see "Adding fields and data via Workflow" on
page271.
Editing fields
The list of fields that are included in the extraction, the order in which fields are extracted and
the data format of each field, are all part of the Extract step's properties. These can be edited via
the Step properties pane (see "Extract step properties" on page345).
Tip
To change the name of a field quickly, right-click it in the Data Model and select Rename.
Renaming and reordering fields in an extraction step
The names of fields, as well as the order of fields in an extraction step, can be changed via the
properties of the Extract step that they belong to.
1. Select the Extract step that contains the fields that you want to rename. To do this you
could click on one of those fields in the Data Model, or on the step in the Steps pane.
2. On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the Order and rename fields
button.
3. Now you can rename and order the fields; see "Order and rename fields dialog" on
page352.
