Card specifics

Edit online
  • More than one card in a map can reference the same type but the cards must have different card names.
  • Each card is assigned a number when it is created. Cards are numbered sequentially, beginning at 1. The card numbers determine the order in which the cards and the data in those cards is evaluated. The card number is important when a map is used as a functional map. To reorder the cards, use the Reorder command on the Card menu.
  • The structure of the card object appears in the card. An icon represents each component that the entire card data object is composed of. Each icon in the input and output card represents a type that has been defined in the Type Designer.
  • The output column in the output card shows the structure and the names of the components of the output data object.
  • In the case of partitioned groups, the structure shown is the partitioned group and its subtypes. An icon is shown for each component and each partition that compose the entire card object.
  • Each output name appears in a separate cell in the output card.
  • The rule column contains a rule cell for each output object. Enter map rules to define how to generate the data object of this card.
  • There are several ways to view input and output cards.
