Moving extended data elements inside or outside of other extended data elements
In the event definition editor, you can move extended data elements inside or outside of other extended data elements without needing to directly modify the underlying source code. When you move an extended data element inside of another extended data element, the extended data element that you are moving becomes a child of the extended data element that you are moving it into. When you move an extended data element outside of another extended data element, the extended data element that you are moving becomes a peer of the extended data element that you are moving it out of.
To move extended data elements inside or outside of other extended data elements:
Procedure
- If you want to move an extended data element inside another
extended data element:
- In the event definition editor, highlight the extended data element that you want to move inside another extended data element.
- Right-click the extended data element that you highlighted and then select Move Inside Next Element. The extended data element moves inside the next extended data element.
- If you want to move an extended data element outside of another extended data element:
- In the event definition editor, highlight the extended data element that you want to move outside another extended data element.
- Right-click the extended data element that you selected and then select Move Outside Nested Element.
The extended data element moves outside of the parent extended data element to a peer position located over the former parent, as shown in the following figure:
