Viewing Data Mappings for a form control

A control on a form can be mapped to multiple locations in different types of data mapping definitions. The InForm Architect application provides an easy way to review all of the mappings for a specific control:

  1. Open the Form window containing the control by double-clicking its icon in the Trial Objects window.
  2. Expand the nodes of the Form window as necessary to expose the control you want to review.
  3. Click the control.

    A Mappings tab appears in the Properties window.

  4. Click the Mappings tab.

    The Properties window splits. The left pane lists all Data Mappings to which the selected control is mapped. When you expand the Data Mappings nodes, you can see the mapping components in which the control appears. For names that are too long for the visible pane, you can change the size of the window or display a tool tip with the complete name by placing the cursor above the name. To open the Data Mappings window, right-click the data mapping node and select Data Mappings Editor from the right-click menu. The Data Mappings window opens with the selected node highlighted.

    When you click a data mapping definition node in the left pane, the right pane displays the data mapping component’s properties. This information is read-only.
