With the Format editor, you can create a new data element and then
define its format. To create the format element for a new data element, follow
these steps:
- Create a format definition.
- In the main editing area of the FMTE page in the
Editor view, right-click the newly created format definition. In the pop-up
menu, select Add Data Format
- A window appears prompting you to input the name and tag name for
the new data. Type the name and select the tag name of the new data element
from a pull-down list. If this data element belongs to a compound data element,
also select the compound data element to which you want to add the new data
element.

- Click Finish. The newly created
data element appears in the CHA Data view. The newly created format element
appears in the Outline view and the FMTE page of the Editor view.
- If another wizard appears, select the format for the new data element
and click Finish.
