  This documentation describes Design Server projects.
- Schemas
- Maps
- Flows
  A flow node invokes a sub flow within a flow. Sub-flows need not be wired to other nodes; it is valid to have a flow that is comprised of multiple sub-flows that each have listeners.

- Flows
  This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
- Schema designer
  Use the schema designer to define, modify, and view schemas. A schema describes the syntax, structure, and semantics of your data.
  - About schemas
    A schema defines the contents of at least one input that you intend to map or one output you intend to map.
  - Subtypes
  - Schema hierarchy
  - Defining data
  - Objects, types, and classes
  - Testing part of a schema
    You can test a schema by generating test data for an item or a group. The schema designer creates source and compiled maps that generate and validate the test data. The test-data-generation map automatically runs and produces a text file with the sample data. After that, the test-data-validation map automatically runs on the sample data file.

Component range

A component range can be specified for any component. A component range defines the number of consecutive occurrences of that component. The range (s) represents some or any number greater than one.

When a component is selected, the component name is displayed in the rule bar. Click in the rule bar after the component name to type the component range.

The range is displayed in parentheses immediately after the component name. The range is two numbers separated by a colon. The first number indicates the minimum number of consecutive occurrences of that component. The second number indicates the maximum number of consecutive occurrences of that component. The syntax of the component name and range is:

Component (MIN:MAX)

To enter a range after a component name, type in the rule bar or use the Set Range command.

The maximum component range is 2147483647.

Whenever a component has a range, each occurrence of that component may be referred to as a "member" of a series. The words "occurrence" and "member" are used interchangeably in the documentation.
