Renaming and reordering fields in an extraction step
The names of fields, as well as the order of fields in an extraction step, can be changed via the
properties of the Extract step that they belong to.
1. Select the Extract step that contains the fields that you want to rename. To do this you
could click on one of those fields in the Data Model, or on the step in the Steps pane.
2.
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the Order and rename fields
button.
3. Now you can rename and order the fields; see "Order and rename fields dialog" on
page367.
Note
About field names:
l Fields cannot have the same name, unless they are located on a different level in
the record (e.g. root level, detail table).
l If you intend to use the field names as Metadata in a Workflow process, do not add
spaces to field names, as they are not permitted in Metadata field names.
Note
The order of fields in an extraction step may be different from their order in the Data
Model. To make the Data Model clearer and more manageable, you can change the
order of the fields in it and create groups of fields. See also: "Ordering and grouping fields
in the Data Model" on page288.
