source
The source element defines the element contents of a particular construct within a "Composite Data Group" data group element. source is not a user-defined element; the tag source must be used to define such an element. source is only required in certain data structures. It can be used to define multiple child elements.
This element is:
- Case sensitive
- Not required in a "Composite Data Group"; only required in certain structures
- Used 1 or more times per "Composite Data Group" DataGroupElement, depending on structure and desired result
To learn about how this element relates to other elements in a CygNet device template file, see Device Template File Hierarchy.

Attributes
The following table lists and describes attributes generally applicable to this element. However, not all of the attributes listed here are applicable to all EIEs. Additionally, some attributes are required for use in every device template file of a certain EIE, but others may be used on a case-by-case or device-by-device basis, depending on your specific needs. All attributes in templates are case sensitive; but the case sensitivity of attribute values is based on context.
Note: Occasionally, device template files for different EIEs use attributes of the same name that do different things. Efforts are made in this document to highlight cases where an attribute by one name does different things in different EIEs.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
|
sourceDeid |
sourceDeid specifies the source data group element from which a data group element or source element derives its data. When used in a composite data group, sourceDeid is used in combination with the sourceDg attribute. The referenced source data group element must be part of a support data group as referenced in a supportDg element in the same composite data group in which sourceDeid is used. Value:
|
|
sourceDg specifies the source data group from which a data group element or source element derives its data. The referenced source data group must be defined in a supportDg element in the same composite data group in which sourceDg is used. Value:
|
