How to collect XML output from an input file and configure elements, attributes and values.

The XML editor works with a result tree: nodes, attributes and values can be associated with source data and processed by rules.

When to use

Use the XML editor for hierarchical uploads, CommerceML-like structures, and XML integrations.

Setting procedure

  1. Open the editor from the profile with the XML result.
  2. Create or test a result root node.
  3. Add child elements and attributes.
  4. For each value, select a source path or a constant value.
  5. Add conversion rules if you need to clear or recalculate a value.
  6. Run preview and check the XML.

What to check

  • XML has one valid root element.
  • Repeating elements are set to the desired source list.
  • Attributes are not confused with nested elements.

Notes

  • For large sources, some of the preparation may be done in the background.
  • If the XML source changes structure, use source protection and preview checking.
