Setting the value of a simple output element to a default or fixed value

In the Graphical Data Mapping editor, use the Create transform to set the value of a simple output element. You use the default or the fixed value defined in the schema for that element.

About this task

The Create transform creates an output element without the use of input data.

Note: You can only set the value of a simple output element to its default or fixed value when the schema includes a default value or a fixed value for the element.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to create a simple output element with its default or fixed value:

  • Create an Assign transform by using either of the following methods:
    1. Click the output element and drag the connector towards the input elements, releasing the connector onto a blank part of the canvas. When you release the connector, an Assign transform is created.
    2. Right-click the output element and then select Create Assign.
  • Use the drop-down, and select Core transforms > Create.
  • In the Properties panel, select the General tab. Then, select Create using default or fixed value defined by schema for target type.
