Item Tags

Item tags that you see in the XML output are determined by the data dictionary name of the fields used in the RDA report template. An exception to this rule is that if the data dictionary name has been overridden in RDA, then the override is used as the item tag.

Because multiple data items in an RDA report template can be named the same, the item tag in the XML output is appended with an object ID. The object ID begins with the letters ID to indicate that it is a field from the report. The object ID is assigned by RDA to ensure that each report object is unique. The object ID is retrieved from the report specifications and cannot be modified.

This is an example of an individual section that is included in the XML output for a batch version of the Purchase Order Print report:

- <Purchase_Order_Print_S42_Group>
   - <On_Ship_To_S45> 
      <PageHeaderNumber1</PageHeaderNumber> 
      <DocumentOrderInvoiceE_ID135>Order Number</DocumentOrderInvoiceE_ID135> 
      <OrderSuffix_ID140>000</OrderSuffix_ID140>
      <OrderType_ID138>OD</OrderType_ID138>
      <DocumentOrderInvoiceE_ID136>1</DocumentOrderInvoiceE_ID136>
      <Order_Revision_Notes_S65/> 
+ <On_Order_Suffix_S58> 
      <Total_Order__ID12>Total Order</Total_Order__ID12>
      <Order_Extended_Price_ID13>969.10</Order_Extended_Price_ID13>
    + <Taxes_S49> 
    + <Grand_Total_S50> 
    + <Buyer_S51> 
    </On_Ship_To_S45>

In this XML output example:

  • The <On_Ship_To_S45> node is a level break header.

    The page header number indicates where the data resides in the RDA report.

  • The <On_Order_Suffix_S58> is also a level break.

  • The information that resides directly under the <On_Order_Suffix_S58> node is level break footer information.

    The level break footer information is at the same level as the level break header information because both level break sections break on the same field.

  • The <Taxes_S49>, <Grand_Total_S50>, and <Buyer_S51> nodes are all conditional sections that are called by the level break footer.

When the node of a section is expanded, you can view the item tags of the individual records. Each piece of data is enclosed within descriptive item tags that include the object ID.
