Using the graphical mapping modeler

You can create a mapping between a source and target document without manually write complex XSLT. You can use a graphical mapping to graphically create a mapping structure, including the use of standard functions without in-depth XSLT knowledge. The graphical mapping is translated into optimized XSLT to be used by the ION runtime.

Graphical mapping consists of connecting nodes, elements and attributes within a source document to a target document. You can do this manually or by utilizing Smart Matching. With Smart Matching, you can select an element from the source and match the element with a compatible element within the target. Automatically the child elements are mapped. Smart Matching is enabled by default. You can disable it by opening the Configuration tab.

In the mapping modeler, the left pane shows the elements and attributes of the input document. The elements and attributes of the output document are displayed on the right pane. The central pane shows the definition of the transformation.To change a height of rows of a hierarchy tree, click Comfortable view/ Compact view.
