XMLData Selections
XML data selections are used when your sample data file uses the XML Emulation.
The following options appear in a the Data section of any data selection object's properties when using this emulation:
l XPath: Specify the path in the structure for the data selection you want to obtain.
l From iteration and To iteration fields: Use these fields to specify the range of the data selection. The To iter-
ation field allows a value of 0. When To iteration is not zero, it must be higher than the value of From iteration and is the
last iteration index. If it is zero, the repetition occurs from the From iteration to the maximum (or entire) number of ele-
ments.
l Data Type: Specify how you want to select the information: by Count, Name, or Value as follows:
Data Type Description
Count Returns an integer indicating the number of nodes for the specified XPath.
Name Returns a string that represents the name of the current node or the first node in the specified XPath.
Value Returns a string that represents the content of the node in the specified XPath.
l Element on which to iterate field: Select the element on which to iterate. Using this in conjunction with the From
iteration and To iteration fields narrows the scope of the data selection set.
l Use Data Selector:Click to display the Data Selector to choose which value or property to use instead of entering
them manually.
To create a data selection in XML emulation using the Data Selector:
1. In the DataSelector, use the mouse to create the data selection.
FIELD NAME AND Range Coordinates
In the Field name box, select the field you want to use for the data selection, and use the From record and To rec-
ord boxes to specify the range of records you want to include in the data selection.
Mouse
Click in the field you want to use for the data selection, in the first of the records you want to include in the data selec-
tion, then drag the mouse to select the remaining records to include.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Click in the Data Pane and use any of the following keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the Data Pane.
HOME, END: Move the currently active cell to the first field of the current record (HOME), or the last field of the cur-
rent record (END). This shortcut collapses the current data selection to only the currently active cell.
