✅ Learn the critical configuration needed to display data correctly

What Are Stylesheets?

A Stylesheet is a template that transforms raw message data into readable, formatted views. Instead of showing base64-encoded JSON or raw XML, Stylesheets present business data—customer names, order IDs, amounts, statuses—in clean, organized tables.

Why use Stylesheets?

  • Data Security: Mask sensitive information while displaying business context
  • User-Friendly Displays: Turn technical formats into readable, actionable reports
  • Consistency: Apply the same formatting across all related messages
  • Compliance: Protect sensitive data while maintaining auditability

Available Stylesheets

The O2C demo includes pre-built stylesheets for each of the 7 order lifecycle steps:

Step Format Stylesheet Purpose
1 JSON Order Received Customer name, Order ID, Amount
2 XML In Development ERP Reference, Entry time, Status
3 CSV In Development Confirmation number, Customer email
4 JSON In Development Schedule date, Production line, SKU
5 XML In Development Tracking number, Warehouse location
6 PSV In Development Delivery date, Carrier, Proof of delivery
7 JSON In Development Invoice number, Total amount, Due date

Each stylesheet extracts business data from its message format and displays it in a consistent, readable table layout.

⚠️ Critical: "Message Body is Json" Configuration

When using JSON stylesheets, you MUST configure the "Message Body is Json" setting in your Log View. This checkbox controls how data is accessed:

☑️ CHECKED — Nodinite parses JSON and injects properties as direct variables. Use simple syntax: {{ orderId }}, {{ customer.name }}

☐ UNCHECKED — Raw message body available as string. Requires JavaScript parsing.

Important

All JSON stylesheets in this demo require "Message Body is Json" to be CHECKED. XML/CSV/PSV messages require it UNCHECKED. Without the correct setting, stylesheets will show placeholder values instead of actual data.

How to Use

  1. Navigate to Log Management → Log Views
  2. Create or edit a Log View for O2C messages
  3. Configure Log View Settings:
    • JSON messages → ✅ CHECK "Message Body is Json"
    • XML/CSV/PSV messages → ☐ UNCHECK "Message Body is Json"
  4. Add a Stylesheet and select the appropriate one for your message type
  5. Apply and test with demo data
