Looping Tab

The following list describes the properties of the Looping tab for EDI Group, Positional Group, Variable Length Delimited Data Group, CII Group, SWIFT Group, and SQL Group dialog boxes:

Minimum usage

Minimum number of times the group must be repeated.

For a conditional group, the minimum usage is 0 (zero).

Note: If a group is required for HIPAA, indicate the requirement by setting the minimum usage to 1. If a group is designated as situational for HIPAA, indicate this by setting the minimum usage to 0.

Maximum usage

Maximum number of times the loop must be repeated.

Promote records to parent

Select this check box to specify that when the group is compiled, the subordinate records and groups are extracted from the loop and located in the parent group. This function is valid for single iteration subgroups only.

Not used with SWIFT.

Note: Select this check box if you are mapping the fields in this group to data that is not grouped in the output.

Get usage from related field

This is supported on the input side of the map only. If this option is selected, you can associate the usage of a group or segment with the value stored in another field.

Note: This options is disabled for SWIFT.

The field associated with the usage must meet the following requirements:

• It must be in a segment that's contained in the same group as the segment whose usage is being determined.
• It must be in a non-repeating segment.
• It must be in a segment that precedes the segment whose usage is being determined.
• It must be an integer field.
