Color Codes

XML elements and attributes are geometrically color-coded to quickly signal whether or not they are required.

🟥 Required (Type)
🟦 Optional (Type, Default)

* Asterisk means "multiple elements are allowed".

"Type" is a top-level explanation of the function of the data element (explained in the first table below).
"Multiple" means that the element may occur more than once.

XML elements and attributes are classified as one of the following types:

Type	Description
Module	The root level element that functions as an empty parent element that signals the Module request for calculation
Parent	An empty element with child elements and attributes
Child	Element is a child element of a parent
Empty	An element whose data is packaged solely as attributes
Format	Data is to be provided within strict formatting requirements. Please see the Formats table below.

Data sent to the SCEX via element and attribute values is parsed according to the expected format, each of which is described below:

Format	data	example	description
boolean	true, false, 1, 0	false	Used when data requires only a true or false result
range	Contiguous data	[1..120]	A contiguous set of numeric values captured in brackets, such as the exemplified "all integers from 1 to 120."
enum	Set of labels	[nearest, up, down]	An 'enum' is an enumeration of isolated values often defined with a linked table
date	YYYY-MM-DD	2024-01-23	Dates are packaged as standard xml dates (See the `<Format>` element for other options.)
currency	Cash values	10021.31	A number appropriate for a country's currency is expected
decimal	decimal data	5.321	A generic designation for a number that may contain decimals. e.g. An interest rate
integer	whole number	120	A generic designation for a non-negative integer
text	A sequence of characters	"DocFee" or ""	Pure text, often for names
char	A single character	"." or ""	A single character or the absence of a character
