Building a Target Structure

To build a target structure from scratch, you first create a root element, and then define child elements and attributes as needed.

How to create a root element
To create a root element:
1. Click the Mapper tab if necessary.
2. Right click the area underneath the Set Target Document button.

The target document shortcut menu appears.

3. Select Create Root Element.

The Name dialog box appears.

4. Type a name for the root element and click OK.

The root element you specified appears in the target document pane of the Mapper tab.

How to create elements and attributes

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

To create elements and attributes:
1. Click the Mapper tab if necessary.
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
    • Add Child Element
    • Insert Element After (This choice is not applicable to the root element; it creates the element as a sibling of the selected element.)

The Name dialog box appears.

5. Type a name for the node and click OK.

The node you specified is added to the target structure in the Mapper tab.
