Nestable Data Paths in Generic XML Example

In the following example, the data set contains a product which has multiple references of type AccessoryRequired, to accessory products. Each accessory product has multiple references of type ProductImage, to assets.

Using Nested Data Paths when mapping will produce an export that includes all of the IDs shown above, in the following levels:

• Level 1 Product tag including the ID and Name of the product selected for export
• Level 2 Accessory tag including the ID, Name and Description for each product with an AccessoryRequired reference type
• Level 3 Image tag including the ID and Name for each image with a ProductImage reference type
