Wizard Options

Though specifics vary across EDI dialects (IATA and EANCOM refer to versions, while X12 refers to Release, for example), the options for most EDI document wizards are similar, if not the same. Document wizard options are summarized in the following table.

Table 58. EDI Document Wizard Options
Option Name	Description
Version	The version of the EDI dialect from which you want to create an XML Schema. For the X12 dialect, this option is referred to as Release.
Message	The specific message type from which you want to create an XML Schema. For the X12 dialect, this option is referred to as Transaction Set.
Include annotations describing each element	Whether or not you want to include annotations that describe each element in the generated XML Schema.
Generate enumerations for elements that have codelists	Whether or not you want the generated XML Schema to use enumerations for fields that have lists of values (`<xsd:enumeration value="05">`, `<xsd:enumeration value="06">`, and so on, for example).
Use long element names	Whether or not you want the generated XML Schema to use long or short element names (`ACS04` versus `ACS04-ShipmentMethodOfPayment`, for example).
Use "unbounded" for maxOccurs when loop value is 99 or higher	Whether or not you want to substitute `"unbounded"` for maxOccurs attributes that have a value of 99 or more. Stylus Studio bases maxOccurs values on the loops it detects in the EDI message or transaction.
Batch schema/ Interactive schema	Whether the EDI message or transaction is are being used in batch or interactive mode. This option does not pertain to the X12 dialect.
