Defining Element Details

The Document Builder - XML page features an element details section where you can define element tag names, prefixes, and other details. To access the page, select PeopleTools, Documents, Document Builder and click the XML tab. The area you use to define element details appears under the XML Schema Details section.

To display the section, select an element. The details that you can define and manage appear on the right side of the page.
