How to create elements and attributes

You can create elements and attributes in a new or existing target structure.

2. Select the attribute or element to which you want to add a child element or attribute. If you have just created a root element, select the root element.

3. Right click the area underneath the Set Target Document button.

The target document shortcut menu appears.

4. Choose one of the following:

Add Attribute
