4. Parameters can now be added to the Line. Highlight the Invoice number all the way to the word Revision.

Note: Highlighting the Parameter until the instance of another Parameter or label is a general practice that will ensure that all incoming data is picked up.

5. The Parameter will appear with a tag of NewParameter. In the Tag field of the Parameter Editor, enter the name of the Parameter you want displayed in the XML output. Set the changes by selecting Set.

NOTE: To further aid the process of picking up all of the incoming data for a
given parameter, the Length field can be adjusted. If the Parameter’s
potential length isn’t fully highlighted initially, specifying the Length
acts as a good safeguard for finding all of the incoming data associated
with that Parameter.


 

6. To add another Parameter on the same Line, first select the Line icon. Then, highlight the Revision number, right click and pick the Add Parameter option.
