View information about a selected content control

This panel is for viewing and editing the properties of a specific content control. To enable editing, select one content control. You can change these values:

  • Value XPath

    The path that indicates the location in the data XML's structure where this content control was taken from.

  • 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.

  • Custome Locale

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

  • Input format

    Notifies 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

    Determines when content found in this content control should be visible. These are the possible values:

    • Don't 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

      Creates 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.
