# About the Mapping tab

Click the image to view full size.

The Mapping tab uses the Data Transformation Component to define links between the input XML or recordset data and the new XML output structure to be generated by the tool at runtime. Variables may also be dragged from the browser and included as an additional source for mapping - this is achieved by selecting the Functions tab on the right-hand side and dragging a Fixed/Dynamic function into the middle Transformation Mappings pane. The function is opened and the variable is dragged from the browser and into the Value tab. The function is then ready to be mapped for the variable data to be passed at runtime.

If you have previously selected No Data Source within the General tab then by using variables alone you can create an input source "on the fly".

The Input Data pane on the left reflects the current structure of the data source if one was selected from the General tab. The Output Data pane on the right reflects the designed XML structure from the Main tab. To create a mapping you drag an element from the left pane on to an element in the right pane.

The Transformation Mappings pane in the middle displays a visual link indicating that a mapping has been completed.
