Import xml file Question

Question

Here is my senario:
I have distribute a form and I have collect responses. Then I have export(save) the responses as a .xml file.
Here is the .xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <Data>
- <!-- CopierTest_distributed_0001.pdf-->
- <form1>
<Copier>Xerox</Copier>
<Meter>300</Meter>
</form1>
- <!-- CopierTest_distributed_0001.pdf-->
- <form1>
<Copier>Canon</Copier>
<Meter>2000</Meter>
</form1>
</Data>
Is it posible to import the xml into a dynamic form with the two fields(Copier and Meter)

Answer 1

Hi,
Based on the data you have provided you would need to do something like this.
- Create a document in designer.
- create 2 text fields ( one for the copier name  and  one for  Meter)
For each field you need to go to the binding tab and set
     Data Binding = "$.Copier" ( without quotes) for the copier text field  AND
     Data Binding = "$.Meter" ( without quotes) for the Meter text field.
- wrap the two fields in a subform
In the details for the subform set the following in the Binding Tab
     Data  Binding = "$.form1[*]" ( without the quotes)
     Repeat subform for each data item  should be checked  ( If this is greyed out, wrap this subform in a subform)
If you then create a XML file from your data and use this in the preview settings of designer you can preview the document and see what it looks like.
I can hopefully workout someway to get a sample file so you can see what has been done
