Design Server
The documentation provided here describes how to use the Design Server.
- Projects
  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.
- Using Design Server
  How to use the HCL Link Design Server.
- 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.

Inserting symbols

About this task

Symbols are used to indicate non-printable characters. You can insert a symbol by typing it or by using the Symbols dialog.

For example, to define a carriage return/line feed as an item restriction, from the item restriction view area, right-click and select Insert Symbols from the context menu. From the list of symbols, double-click CR and double-click LF and select OK. The carriage return/line feed symbols are displayed in angle brackets in the item restriction view area: <CR><LF>
