  6. Right-click the customer node in the output table and select Create Sub-Element from the contextual menu. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the name of the new sub-element. In this example, it is Name.
  7. Click OK to validate the changes and close the dialog box. A Name node is added under the customer node in the output table.
  8. In the row1 main input table, select the id and CustomerName nodes and drop them onto the Name node in the output table. In the pop-up dialog box, select Create as sub-element of target node and click OK to close the dialog box. A id node and a CustomerName node are added under the Name node in the output table.
