Creating the Definition File

Before you can edit the definition file through the Clausion user interface, you must create the XML file using any XML or text editor and add it to the system (for instructions, refer to Managing Templates in Clausion Administrator's Online Help). The file must contain at least the root element <fpm>, and the elements must be bound to the XML namespace "http://fpm.clausion.com". The most common format for the root element start tag will then be:

<fpm xmlns="http://fpm.clausion.com">

All XML definitions are case sensitive and must be written in lower case.

The following figure illustrates how the definition file looks in an XML editor.

After you have added the file to the system, you can continue to edit the definitions using the Edit Template function in Input and Report Template management. For instructions, refer to Editing XML Definitions in Clausion Administrator's Online Help.

The following figure illustrates how the definitions look in the user interface.
