Add Entities

The Add Entities window displays when you select the Add Entities button on the main Edit Import Transfer Mapping/Add Import Transfer Mapping window. This window lets you highlight multiple items as you normally would and they are all then added to the main window. The purpose of this window 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 window using a Remove button.

For more information, go to the Edit Import Transfer Mapping/Add Import Transfer Mapping topic. 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 Edit Import Transfer Mapping/Add Import Transfer Mapping window 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.
