Exporting XML data fields

To export data fields to XML

There must be some fields defined in order to export XML, since only the contents of fields found on each page will be exported. See Defining data fields and tags.

1.	Choose Export... from the 'File' menu.

2.	Select which page range you want to export.

3.	Select Discard file list if you want same-named files to be overwritten. See File List.

4.	Choose XML as the 'Format'. To set further options click XML field options...: see Outputting to XML.

5.	A default file name (with extension .XML) is provided. To create a different filename or extension, type in the new name or use wildcards. To select a different folder to store the file, use the Browse button.

6.	To export all the data fields defined in the job, click All defined fields.

7.	To export only some of the data fields, click Selected fields only then click Select....

8.	In the 'Field Definitions' window, right click on a field name in the list and choose Select for Export. Repeat for other fields you wish to export. The order of fields can be changed by drag and drop. Click OK to return to the 'Export' window.

9.	Click OK to export the fields.

To create XML stylesheets

Select Create XSL, CSS and HTM files. Three extra files are generated. If the stem of the output filename is OUTPUT, then:

•	OUTPUT.XSL is an XSL stylesheet defining the fields;

•	OUTPUT.CSS is a cascading stylesheet defining the positions of the fields on the page, based on the top left corner of the area being searched for original field;

•	OUTPUT.HTM is an HTML file which ties these files together with the XML file and uses a navigation bar supplied by EENAVBAR.HTM. Both of these HTML files are independent of the data and are copied from EEDATA.HTM and EENAVBAR.HTM in the RedTitan Software folder if they do not exist already.

To extract XML data fields when exporting to other formats

If you are exporting to an image or other format, the fields can be extracted simultaneously into XML. In this case the file is not given the extension XML, but a .LOG file is created instead.

Choose the image or other export Format and set any options required (see Exporting files manually) then select the field logging options - see Log file export.
