XML Forms - Data model - writing to XML or Doc property

[#1]

Hi,

Can someone please explain how user data inputted into an XML Form is stored? I understand how it is stored in XML format, but am a little lost with SDN help doco, below:

"Data Model

The data model is a structured description of the data that is stored in XML forms. The data that you enter in forms is written in either an XML file or in properties of documents. A combination of the two is also possible."

(link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/fe743c74fa6449e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)

What does "properties of documents" refer to? Is this an existing document? A new KM resource (not of type XML)? Or is this document property of the XML file being created?

Also, does ALL user input from a form need to be stored as XML files, rather than an XML file or some other resource type?

Many thanks,

Justin

Look at this you wrote "The data that you enter in forms" - writing in "properties of documents" - it means that you can do some changes with KM files from XML forms, or you can administrate (approve doc. and so on).. So all property will be change in KM doc - wich you customize from XML form

Only XML (if use XML Form Builder)
