This section describes how to add a data formatter to map
the input or output data of a state.
Procedure
To add a data mapping formatter to a state, do the following
steps:
- In the Enterprise Explorer pane, double-click the Transaction
file that contains the transitions to which you want to add a data
formatter. The Transaction file opens in the Transaction
editor.
- In the Transaction editor, click the Flow tab.
- In the Flow tab, click the state
to which you want to add the data formatter. Information
on the state displays in the Properties tab.
Note: If the Properties tab
is not open, click to open the Properties tab.
- In theProperties panel, two fields
are used to define data mapping: the Input Mapping field and the Output
Mapping field.
- If you want to map output data, use Output Mapping.
- If you want to map input data, use Input Mapping.
- If you are adding an existing data
formatter, copy the format name from the Format tab
panel and paste it on the mapping field.
- If there is no proper data formatter,
firstly use Data Mapping windows to define a new one. Please refer
to Defining data formatter.
- After successfully created a data formatter
in the Data Mapping window, the automatically generated or user defined
formatter name would display on the mapping field.
- Save the Transaction file. Finally, adding
data formatter is completed.
