Adding custom elements from ION Registry

If the ION registry root folder preference is specified and the document’s schema category is set to "BOD", Mapper can read the ION registry metadata and then automatically create a custom namespace and replacement elements. The schema categories are defined by the mapping properties SchemaIn.Category and SchemaOut.Category.

  1. Right-click the document’s root element and select Extend UserArea Elements....

    All replacement elements, as defined for the noun in the ION registry, are automatically added to the wildcard elements for the document’s UserArea elements.

    The custom namespace and its custom schemas are also added.

  2. Manually add the Property replacement element used for User Defined fields.

    ION registry only contains metadata about replacement elements for the custom namespace. Follow the instruction in the last dialog box on how to manually add the Property replacement element.

    The custom prefix "cust" will be used for the custom namespace.

Note: 

  • If no custom elements are added, or if you miss a custom element, check the ION registry metadata.

  • If one or more new replacement elements are added in the ION registry, re-run Extend UserArea Elements... to add these replacement elements to the document.

  • If a replacement element is removed in the ION registry, you must manually remove the corresponding replacement element for the document in Mapper.
