The Order editor is displayed.
Right-click in the Order Template area and select Select from Dictionary.

From the Task Data area, drag the empty structure to the corresponding service action XML parameter in the Service Action area.

Click the service action parameter. Verify the following fields in the Properties tab:
1. In the Binding Type field, ensure that the XPath expression field is selected.
