Editing and relocating the map file generated for a label

You need to edit and relocate the map file generated for a label.

Procedure

  1. Edit the map file (XML) generated for a label (LWL) to associate the XML data to the fields required on the label:
    Note: XPath Functions can be used in the binding, provided the XPath Binding for a RepeatingField represents a Nodeset.
    • Sequence - Sequence="Y" setting is to be used in instances where a labelfield represents a sequence of numbers. For example, serial numbers in a table.
    • DataType - Set up the relevant DataType for the LabelField. Valid values are Text, Date, and DateTime.
    • Repeating Element - Specify the RepeatingElement for the XPath Binding. If no Repeating Element is specified, the element containing the attribute is used as the RepeatingElement by default. In this example, the ShipmentLine is the RepeatingElement:

      <LabelField Binding="/Shipment/ShipmentLines/ShipmentLine/OrderLine/Item/@ItemDesc" LabelFieldName="ItemDesc" RepeatingElement="ShipmentLine" DataType="Text"/>
  2. Place the edited XML map file into the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation Runtime Template folder by pasting it into the Runtime > Template > Label > Extn directory.
