Using the Data Model
When a Data Model is loaded inside of the Data Model Pane, it can be used to design
templates by dragging the fields directly into the template; see "Variable Data" on page228. If
data is present (from a Data Model File or a Data Mapping Configuration), it is possible to
preview the resulting data in the template using the Preview tab (see Workspace).
You can use the following keys to browse records in the Data Model pane:
l Page Up: next record
l Page Down: previous record
l Home: first record
l End: last record.
Problems and messages
Messages Pane
The Messages pane displays any warnings and errors from the data mapping configuration or
template.
