title2) Add, edit and navigate between sample messages

The Translator is a data driven environment, meaning you can use real Sample Data to develop and test your integration logic.

Navigate Samples

The current sample message is passed in as the argument to the main function for the script to execute against the specified sample. This allows you to run quick test cases with your various sample use cases.

The sample data navigation controls allow you to:

  • Move to the first or last message

  • Move to the next or previous message

  • Navigate to a particular message by number

Edit Sample Data

Edit sample data will open your selected sample message in the code editor for you to view or apply modifications to the sample.

title6) Select the language

The Language dropdown controls how the Translator does code syntax highlighting.

For example, if you open a sample HL7 message, the Translator will auto detect the HL7 and change the language bar to the appropriate HL7 setting so the data is highlighted correctly.

You can manually select the language if needed.
