Add Entities

This screen displays when you select the Add Entities button on the main Add/Edit Import Transfer Mapping screen. This screen lets you highlight multiple items as you normally would and they are all then added to the main screen. The purpose of this screen is to only add new XML entities to map to and is not for deleting them. You can delete XML entities on the main mapping screen using a Remove button.

Entities in the tree-view come in two types: attributes and elements. Attributes and elements are at the same level of the tree-view and sub-elements can be located as children within the elements. You can always select attributes, and you can also select elements that do not have sub-elements. Elements that are not selectable are grayed out. Once selected, these entities appear in the Add/Edit Import Transfer Mapping screen in xpath form and are no longer displayed in the xml entity tree.

An XML element is everything from the element's start tag to the element's end tag. An element can contain other elements, simple text, or a mixture of both. Elements can also have attributes.

An XML attribute provides additional information about elements. XML elements can have attributes in the start tag, just like HTML.
