Configure XML Data Output

Encoding

Definition of the XML file’s encoding format when produced by Lasernet. The default is UTF 8, which allows the viewing of the XML file in a browser.

Remove whitespace

In most XML prints, blank fields are not allowed with the data which can happen when mapping data in Lasernet. Here blank fields mean empty spaces before and after the text. This setting makes it possible to remove these blank fields. Alternatively, Trim spaces before and after can be chosen in the input properties or Whitespace on edges for output properties, respectively.

Remove node if no data is provided – no effect in Design mode

This is used to exclude empty nodes from the output. Note that this setting overrides the settings of individual nodes on the sheet.

No indenting of tags – no effect in Design mode

Controls the formatting of the XML. When checked, the XML output generated is written as one long line containing all the tags. When cleared, each tag is placed on a separate line and whitespace is added to indent the tags to give it a tree-like look when viewed in a text editor. The check box has no effect on how the XML is presented in the Lasernet Form Editor.

Embed Comment

Is used for adding information at the beginning of an XML file, e.g., company details. Comments are only used for the receiver of the file and are rarely used in an XML business to business solution.

DTD Declaration

Defines the structure and the legal elements and attributes of an XML document.
