Source Structure Menu

(1) Here you can efficiently change attributes of the structure. See section Batch Processing.

(2) The complete source structure is deleted.

(3) You can open or close all nodes of the source structure (see plus and minus symbols).

(4) In complex source data, it is often difficult to keep track. Therefore Lobster_data offers the possibility to fill the source structure with test data. You have access to stored files of the mapping test in the dialogue. Important note: When loading test data into the source structure, only the first data set of multiple data sets is displayed (a multiple occurrence of data cannot be displayed in the source structure). This can lead to test data being read into the source structure without errors, but a complete mapping test may generate an error in the remaining data. The loading of test data into the source structure is only a visual aid for the mapping process. You cannot automatically conclude from this that the test data is completely correct. Please use the complete mapping test for this.

(5) See section Checking and Creating Match Codes.

(6) Here you can load internal (and client-specific) templates. See section Loading Template. See (8).

(7) See section Analyse File for Structure.

(8) Here you can create an internal (and client-specific) structure template. See section Loading Template. See (6).

(9) See section Structure Template in CSV Format.
