General Layout
Beneath the Mapping Details section
at the top of the window there is a field called Mapping that
shows the mapping information currently being edited. Directly under that
is another field called Value of target
field showing the current target. Target message fields are prefixed
with t, and source message fields are prefixed with s.
Input areas
The top white window contains the target
value, or values, and can be manipulated using the editor tools described
below. The lower white box can contain conditional information. That is, if
the Apply Condition box
is checked, conditional information can be entered defining the conditions
that determine if and how the mapping should take place in the panel below.
Operator buttons
The buttons on the right-hand side
of the screen represent all the operators that can be inserted into the input
areas described above. Position the cursor where you want the operator inserted
and click on the appropriate button. The chosen operator is placed at the
cursor position.
Fields drop-down list
There are two drop-down lists
available towards the bottom of the panel. The drop-down on the left by default
shows Source fields. By
clicking on the drop-down arrow, Target
fields can also be selected. When the button immediately to the
right of the drop-down button is clicked, a list of Source or Target fields
is displayed. These can be selected and then dragged to their required position
in one of the two input boxes above.
Functions drop-down list
The right-hand drop-down list
by default shows String Functions.
By clicking on the drop-down arrow, other function types can also be selected.
Clicking on the arrow to the right shows all the functions available for the
function type selected. To use one of these functions you can first highlight
the field or fields you want to apply the function to, select the function
you want to use, and then drag and drop it onto the highlighted fields. Alternatively
you can simply drag and drop the function where you want it and complete the
necessary fields later. Typing the function name manually without using drag
and drop will not work.
