# About the Main Tab

The Main tab of the Import XML Document Tool dialog box is used to define the schema against which the imported XML document is validated. It also provides a preview of the structure of the output XML which is generated by the Step.

The tab contains the following two sub-tabs through which the Step may be configured:

About the Schema Tab

An XML schema defines the structure of the XML in terms of the tags that are present and the nesting of the tags. The format used by this Tool is the industry standard XSD format. The schema tab is used to define the schema against which the data contained in the source XML document is validated and thereby the structure visible to other task Steps. The Schema tab contains the following:
|  | XML Schema — The text box displays the current XML Schema. The schema may be manually edited.
|  | Browse to XSD/XML File — Clicking on this button opens a standard file browser dialog box to enable you to select and import an existing XML or XSD file. The selected details are then displayed in the XML Schema text box. Alternatively, the contents of an XSD or XML file may be copied and pasted directly into the XML Schema text box.
|  | Infer schema from XML — If an XML file has been imported through the Browse to XSD/XML File button, clicking on this button generates the XML schema based on the file.

Selecting the Output XML tab displays the XML schema defined in the Schema tab in a tree structure. This is the structure that is outputted by the Step at Task run time. It is non editable.

|  | Extract File Properties — Clicking on this button displays the File Properties dialog box through which you may select the file properties that you wish to make available to other Steps created in the Task through the Task Browser dialog box. They are populated with values at Task run time.
