Properties View Key Tab

Use the Properties view Key tab to access and edit the key information defined for the corresponding data element at the order template level. You can right-click any attribute in the Order Template area and select Open Properties View to access and edit the information defined for the corresponding data element at the order template level. The following table describes the fields on the Properties view Key tab.

Field	Use
Key XPath Expression	If this node is a multi-instance data node, you can specify one or more order data keys to uniquely match the data instance from an revision order to a data instance on the current order data. The order data key of a node must be an XPath that points to data within its scope. If the node is a group node, the XPath expression must point to its children nodes; if the node is a value node, it can only point to itself. If no keys are defined, OSM uses the relative position of the changed data when comparing the revision order data with the current order data. You can select a data element from the Order editor Order Template tab and drag the selected data node into the XPath Expression field to define the XPath expression. Note: XPath uses path expressions to select data nodes in XML documents. A path expression with a single dot (.) represents the current node. Two dots (..) represents the parent of the current node. A slash (/) represents the root node. XPath and XQuery fields are limited to 4000 characters.

XPath Expression

If this node is a multi-instance data node, you can specify one or more order data keys to uniquely match the data instance from an revision order to a data instance on the current order data.

The order data key of a node must be an XPath that points to data within its scope. If the node is a group node, the XPath expression must point to its children nodes; if the node is a value node, it can only point to itself. If no keys are defined, OSM uses the relative position of the changed data when comparing the revision order data with the current order data.

You can select a data element from the Order editor Order Template tab and drag the selected data node into the XPath Expression field to define the XPath expression.

Note: XPath uses path expressions to select data nodes in XML documents. A path expression with a single dot (.) represents the current node. Two dots (..) represents the parent of the current node. A slash (/) represents the root node.

XPath and XQuery fields are limited to 4000 characters.
