Fields

When you configure a PreformatIN Event, you map text segments in the input to areas in the PreformatIN tool. A field in the PreformatIN tool corresponds to an area with one or more text segments.

If you include multiple text segments, the contents of each new text segment will be concatenated to the previous segments, as shown in the example below.
