Configuring a dictionary step for character labeling
You can configure a step to compare the values in an input field to the values in a dictionary. The step writes a label that you specify to the output filed for each character in a matching value.
1On the Configuration tab, select the option to add a step to the asset.
The Add Step dialog box opens onscreen.
2Select Dictionary as the step type.
3In the Dictionary Properties pane, select a dictionary.
Use a dictionary that contains values that you expect the step to find at run time. The step compares each value in an input field to every value in the dictionary that you select.
4In the Label field, enter a label name that represents the characters that you expect to find in the input field.
Enter a single character as a label in character labeling. The step returns the label for each character in an input value that matches a dictionary value.
The string may contain additional characters that do not match a dictionary value. The labeling operation returns the characters unchanged in the output.
5Select or clear the Casing option.
If you select the option, the step searches for characters in the input string that match both the spelling and the character case of the characters in the dictionary. By default, the step ignores the character case of the characters in the input string.
6Select or clear the Override any later step in the sequence option.
If you select the option, the output from the current step overrides the output from any later step in the sequence.
7Optionally, use the in the Ignore Text options to specify one or more values that the step will skip during a labeling operation. Configure the Ignore Text properties for each character that you add.
