- Flows
  This documentation describes how Flows can be run from REST API, listeners, or they can be scheduled.
- Maps
  Maps define input and output specifications and mapping rules for data transformation.
- Schemas
  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.

  - 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.

Entering object names in component rules

About this task

A component rule can refer to a component within a component. The syntax for a component is the component name, followed by a colon (:), followed by the object of which the component is a part. Whenever you see the colon (:) in an expression, it can be interpreted as "component of" or simply "of".

For example, the following expression means The item number of the order record of the order:

Item#:OrderRecord:Order

All of the objects that can be used in component rules are shown in the group view. You can enter an object name into a component rule by pressing Alt and dragging the object into the edit area. The complete object name is automatically entered.

A component rule can refer to:

The component it applies to and any nested components.
Any component above the given component in the component list, and its nested components.
You can enter an object name in a component rule by typing it; however, the recommended method is to press Alt and drag the component into the edit area.
