Description
XML Structure
Shows the schema information for the registry elements that match the given query. One of these elements must have been mapped to a table which is usable by BIRT on the Define Table Mapping Page; this element is highlighted.
You can choose any of the other elements and map them to columns of the given table. To do this, select the desired element and click the > button. In the dialog displayed, specify the column name, the XPath expression for addressing the selected element in the CentraSite registry, and the data type for the element's value. The specified parameters are entered in the Column Mapping table.

Use the arrow buttons to change the order of the columns: Select an entry and click the relevant button to move it up or down in the list.
Click the button to delete the selected mapping from the list.
