Emakin supports the mostly used namespaces in XML standard. Namespaces list allows to import importing the data models or assign assigning prefix for used namespaces.

...

A simple example would be to consider an XML instance that contained references to a customer and an ordered product. Both the customer element and the product element could can have a child element named id. References to the id element would therefore be ambiguous; but placing them in different namespaces would remove the ambiguity.

...

In emakin, after you define your data model, its namespace is set to be empty by default. Using empty namespace is not harmful, but you may want to set an a namespace to your data model if you need to exchange data with other external applications. 

...

If you have an external system and need to use it its data types in your model; you can add it as a new namespace and provide XML Schema Location to load. If you specified a schema location, Emakin will be try to download a schema and store it in the "External Xml Schema Sets" to use. If schema is not accessible from the network, you can manually add (with basic copy and paste) XSD file content to the "External Xml Schema Sets".

Registered Namespaces

Emakin provides a couple of namespaces to make an easier process development. 

Emakin Forms (http://schemas.emakin.com)

Contains Contain generic and basic data models. To import emakin forms namespace, please use "http://schemas.emakin.com" namepace namespace and same location.

After you import namespace you can use following data models:

...

Emakin form designer recognizes this data type proposes to use , and proposes the using of an identity picker control.

Scripting with Namespaces

You can access data model elements as usual in process namespace, even if you define defined a namespace. For example, the following script will continue to run as usual.

Code Block
languagejs
var customers = $Xml.Select('Customers/Customer');

If you need to access the other namespaces you need merge prefix and element names with <prefix>:<elementname> format. For example you can access external elements with following script:
