XML from/to variables
With the XML from/to variables block, you can read data from XML documents into a variable or write variable data into an XML document.
The variables have to be created first.
The block can be accessed from the menu Settings | Documentation | Workflow Design by clicking the panel Design | Input/Output.
Double-clicking the XML from/to variables block opens the XML from/to variables window, which is divided into two parts:
1. General
In this section, you need to specify the path to the XML file and the direction of the data transfer.

XML filename

Direction

Two radio buttons are available, depending on the direction of data transfer:
From variables (from workflow to XML)
To variables (from XML to workflow)
