Setting the value of an output element to a default or fixed value

Complete the following steps to create an output element with its default or fixed value:

• For a simple type output element, complete the following steps:
  1. Add a Create transform to set the value of the output element, by using either of the following methods:
     • Create an Assign transform by using either of the following methods:
       • Click the output element and drag the connector towards the input elements, releasing the connector onto a blank part of the canvas. When you release the connector, an Assign transform is created.
       • Right-click the output element and then select Create Assign.
     • Use the drop-down, and select Core transforms > Create using default or fixed value defined by schema for target type.
  2. In the Properties panel, select the General tab. Then, select Create empty.

     

• For a simple type element included in a complex type output structure, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the output element and drag the connector towards the input elements, releasing the connector onto a blank part of the canvas. When you release the connector, a Create transform is created.

     

  2. Open the nested map associated to the Create transform. You can define how each target element or attribute will be created within the complex element.

     To define the default or fixed value of an element, follow the instructions detailed in the previous step.

     You can use in the Create transform nested map more Create transforms, Assign transforms, or any other mapping transforms that do not require an input. You can use this method to populate as many fields as required in the complex output structure.
