Data Entry Properties and Use

Properties

The Data Entry panel displays a table containing a data record. These columns are shown:

Name
The field name as listed in the definition file.
Type
The data type as listed in the definition file.
Value
The value for this record from the data source. You may change this value.

Use

The Data Entry panel is used to display and modify data read with an Import Bean. It is used to see what data is passed through the data buffer, and can be changed there directly before processing if desired.

If the Import's Definition File has not been opened, no data will be displayed.

Steps in using the panel include:

  1. Press the Next record button to read a record from the data source and display it on the screen.
  2. Modify data values if desired.
  3. Press the Process button to pass the data to the next bean with a data buffer connection.
