XML Template

Use this field to manually type the XML template or paste from another source.

An XML template is an XML fragment that has the same structure as a single row of data in the XML from which the data is to be extracted. This XML fragment can thus serve as a template for that row of data.

The field displays the XML template as a single string.

To load the XML from a template or file, click the button to the left of this field.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form:

  • If you loaded a Template name on the Event Action Select XML Template form and cleared the Save XML option, the application encloses the Template name in double quotation marks and "wraps" this content within a TEMPLATENAME( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

    TEMPLATENAME( TemplateName )

  • If you had loaded a File name on the Event Action Select XML Template form and cleared the Save XML option, the application encloses the File name in double quotation marks and "wraps" this content within a TEMPLATEFILE( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

    TEMPLATEFILE( FileName )

  • Otherwise, the application encloses the XML string in double quotation marks and "wraps" this content within a TEMPLATE( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

    TEMPLATE( XML )
