Defining Collection Element Properties

After you add a collection child or collection peer element to a document, the collection element properties appear on the right side of the Document Builder - Documents page.

The following example shows the properties for a collection child element called order_status.

You can define the following collection element properties:

Field or Control	Description
Element Name	Name of the element as it will appear in the XML document.
Required	Select the check box to make the element required.
Min Occurrence (minimum occurrence)	The minimum number of instances when populating the document definition with data. As an example, entering a 0 (zero) means that you do not have to populate the collection. Enter the minimum number of occurrences of the collection element in the document. The default value is 1.
Max Occurs (maximum occurrence)	This field appears only if the Unbound Maximum field is cleared. Enter the maximum number of occurrences of the collection element in the document.
Unbound Maximum	Select the check box to include an unlimited number of occurrences of the collection element in the document. By default, this option is selected.
Sequence	The system assigns this read-only field. The sequence number is used for indexing with the PeopleCode API for documents.
