The Export button exports the current data file in its current state. Preprocessing may cost a lot
of time when the data file is very large. You could use the exported file instead of the original
file to avoid preprocessing while developing the workflow configuration.
Preprocessor definition

"DataMapper Scripts API" on page384.
Extract step properties
The Extract step takes information from the data source and places it in the record set that is
the result of the extraction workflow. For more information see "Extract step" on page257 and
"Extracting data" on page231.
Description
This subsection is collapsed by default in the interface, to give more screen space to other
important parts.
Name: The name of the step. This name will be displayed on top of the step's icon in the Steps
pane.
Comments: The text entered here will be displayed in the tooltip that appears when hovering
over the step in the Steps pane.
Extraction Definition
l Data Table: Defines where the data will be placed in the extracted record. The root table
is record, any other table inside the record is a detail table. For more information see
"Extracting transactional data" on page238.
l Append values to current record: When the Extract step is inside a loop, check this to
ensure that the extraction will be done in the same detail table as any previous
extractions within the same loop. This ensures that, if multiple extracts are present, only
one detail table is created.
Field Definition
The following field definition settings are identical for all fields.
