Using data models with form and Guide data

Data models are useful at design time when you are working with XML data for forms and Guides that are based on data models. Model-based forms and Guides require XML data that is structured according to the same data model:

  • To populate the form or Guide, you provide XML data that is structured accordingly.

  • When you save form or Guide data in an XML variable, the data model dictates the XML structure.

    You use the Set Value service to access data in XML variables. Data models can be imported into XML variables so that the model structure is displayed in XPath builder. In XPath Builder, seeing the model structure simplifies the creation of XPath expressions that you use to access the data.
