Output Assignment |
Associates address data elements with output field names. By default, the list of field names is the same as the input fields in the Define Input Fields section of the dialog box. You can assign address data elements to existing field names, or create new fields to receive the data. Note: If you are using Z4 Change Processing, be sure to select
the Z4ChangeResult address element in this dialog box.
By default, outputs are ordered alphabetically by field name. Click Output Assignment to view outputs ordered alphabetically by output assignment. |
