XML editor: basic structure setup

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.
