The Data Event wizard is intended for applications where the need exists to extract data from XML and XSLT documents for the purposes of either transferring the data as is to a new location for storage or transforming the data into a new document. The wizard requires an XML based input which can be sourced from the XML data of an InfoPath form, a SmartObject or any data source that can provide an XML data structure.
Once the wizard has extracted the data the wizard is able to store the data in a location designated by the developer or transformed into a new document.

Usage of the XML modes in this wizard requires a working knowledge of XML and XSLT as applied in the use of complex data structure provided by forms such as InfoPath and data objects such as SmartObject. |
The welcome screen introduces the wizard. From the Welcome screen the mode selection is made enabling the advanced mode.
There are a number of options available depending on how the data wizard needs to be configured to manage the incoming data. The developer selects one of the options which will configure how the wizard handles the incoming data.
The Data Mappings step enables the user to map the incoming data source to destination locations. Multiple data assignments can be created using this step. The multiple assignments are required to manage simple XML data structures and repeating XML data structures separately.
The wizard is complete, and the process can be deployed if complete.
