Find Your Way Around the Lasernet XML Transformer

Prev Next

Applies to: Lasernet Core 10

The window where you edit your XML Transformer forms is split in two: the left part shows the input file data (the original data received from the administrative system), and the right part shows the actual form design.

The XML format is represented in a tree structure with nodes identifying the variables. These also contain the actual data. You can switch the XML input view between Full XML, XML without end tags, and XML as a table through the View menu.

See the table below to learn more details about the user interface elements:
