# Xmap Editor

The filePro to XML mapping editor can be used to Create a mapping file using an exiting XML Schema in which case the application will parse the Schema and fill the mapping table with the map-able elements and attributes defined in that Schema or it can be used to Create a new mapping without an XML Schema in which you as the developer are responsible for entering all XML tag information. The meaning and expected content of the mapping table cells is explained in the links above.
Rows may be inserted and deleted from the mapping table using the buttons below the table. Processing loops are inserted into the table with the "Loop start" and "Loop end" buttons. When mapping from an existing XML Schema inserting and deleting rows in the mapping table, other than to edit processing loops, is not recommended. When the mapping file is saved, only those tags which have been mapped to filePro fields, processing loop labels, and sequence tags will be saved.
