You can use the Populate wizard to add elements from the Target pane
to the Spreadsheet pane. The
Populate wizard creates
child structures for the selected parent structure. When you add a message
target to a message map, $target in the Spreadsheet pane is populated by default
with Properties and the message body root. The Properties fields MessageSet,
MessageType and MessageFormat, are added together with their default values.
Other message elements and their children can be added to the Spreadsheet
pane without creating mappings by using the
Populate wizard.
The following steps show how to populate the Spreadsheet pane with other message
elements using the
Populate wizard:
Using the Populate
wizard
- Right-click a parent element in the Spreadsheet pane and click Populate. The Populate wizard is displayed.
- Select the items you wish to create mappings for. Items
required in the target message are selected by default. The
selected items are added to the Spreadsheet pane.
- Repeat Populate to add further child elements
to the Spreadsheet pane.
If any target elements are missing warning messages are displayed
in the Message Mapping Editor. These warning messages indicate the name and
expected position of the missing elements. You can used the Populate wizard
to add the missing elements.
You can also use the Populate wizard to add
target elements to the Spreadsheet pane when there are existing mappings.
Any existing mappings are not altered by the wizard.
If the target map
is a submap the Spreadsheet pane is populated by default with the selected
element or attribute root. You can use the Populate wizard
in the submap to add any child elements to the Spreadsheet pane in the same
way.
