IDM XQuery

This only applies to images that were inserted after being searched in the IDM Images panel.

Value type

The type of value (date, time, number, hyperlink) the content control is meant to hold.

Label XPath

This only applies to label content controls.

Custom Locale

This changes the date and number formatting. This only applies if you click the Use this locale when formatting value button.

Input format

Tells Output Management what to expect from the data XML file in terms of format.

Output format

What the data should look like when the document is generated.

Visibility

Determine when content found in this content control should be visible.

Allowed values:

• Dont hide

  This control is always visible.

• Hide control if value XPath result is empty

  If the data XML does not have any values for this XPath, this control is hidden.

• Hide control if XPath condition result is true

  Create a condition by which the XPath is made hidden or visible through value comparisons. For example, to hide a line item if the cost is less than $1, you would add that condition to the box below this option.
