Use this procedure to use a Container Manipulator component to insert data into a Container component.
Before you begin
Your workspace should contain the Container component where you want to insert data. Your workspace should also contain any other components whose data you want to use when defining the data to be inserted.
Procedure
-
Open a Container Manipulator editor, give your component a name, and select an incoming event.
-
In the Action panel, select Insert as the action, select the desired Container component, and click Add.
The Insert Mapping window opens, listing the fields defined in the selected Container component.
All Container components automatically contain a Timestamp field, mapped to the Now time constant.
-
Click the link in each Value field and use the Value Selector to define the data that the Container stores in each listed field.
You can choose data from any data source or component that is available to the Container Manipulator. Availability depends on the
component's data source dependency constraints.
-
Optionally, add one or more firing conditions.
If one or more firing conditions exist, the Container Manipulator does not perform its operations or fire its event unless all the conditions are met.
