Working with groups on the Basic tab

This topic describes tasks you can perform with groups on the Basic tab of the flow message editor.
You can perform the following tasks with complex data structures on the Basic tab:
Note: For other tasks with groups, use the Advanced tab.

Creating a group in a message or an existing group

You can add a new group to a message or to an existing group:
  1. In the left pane of the Basic tab, right-click the message or existing group to which you want to add a new group.
  2. Click Add Group.

The flow message editor creates a new complex variable, creates a new default group in the variable, and adds the variable to the end of the message or the existing group.

Creating a simple variable in a group

You can add a new element to a group in the same way that you add a new element to a message:
  1. In the left pane of the Basic tab, right-click the group.
  2. Click Add Element.

The flow message editor creates a new variable of type string with a default name and adds the variable to the end of the group.
