Functions under this category allow searching the current DSM (Data Source Model) for elements or attributes using Location Paths and Location Rules.
This is probably the most powerful way available in DocFlex to find and collect anything from the data source.
Location Paths are the expressions similar to XML XPath (see the references below). They are used to refer to a specific set of element or attributes reachable from a given (context) element.
Location Rules are special declarations that allow
defining a recurrent interpretation of several interacting
Location Paths (see the references below).
This makes possible to retrieve from the data source collections
of elements satisfying very complex and sophisticated criteria.
