When portions of an input series are missing

When portions of an input series are missing, the output to which it is mapped built according to the Track property of the type in the Type Designer. The Track property indicates whether to only track the components that have content (Track = Content) or all components, including those that do not have content (Track = Places).

If both the input data object and the output data object have the Track = Places property, the place holder is generated on output, even if there is no data. Example output data with a missing third item would be:

YES,YES,,YES

If the input data object has the Track = Content property, the empty occurrences of that data object are not mapped and the empty occurrences are not built. Example output data with a missing third item would be:

YES,YES,YES
