Property mapping

Lets you map XML elements to job or order properties. The CreateOrdersFromFile step uses these mappings to set order and job property values from the information in the XML file received from the ordering system.

XML element (XPath expression)
Shows all the XML elements in the sample file that are children of the identifiers selected above.
Object type
Specifies whether the XML element maps to a job or order property.
Property
Specifies the RICOH ProcessDirector job or order property to map to the selected XML element.

Database name
OrderMapping.PropertyMapping

Usage notes:

  • When the CreateOrdersFromFile step runs, the values found in the XML file are copied into the properties specified. The step uses the first instance of the XML element that it finds. If a job includes multiple elements that match the XML element definition, the value of the first element is used.
  • If the element you want to use does not appear in the list, you can type the full XPath expression for it.
