  1. Click the Transactions tab.
  2. Click the transaction in which to place the new token in the Defined Transactions pane. Its tokens display in the Definition of the Selected Transaction pane.
  3. Click Add/Paste New Tokens to select the location to place the new token.
    Note: Do not paste a new token directly before the RES, REQ, or TRN tokens.
  4. Click the Add tool in the Definition of the Selected Transaction pane.
  5. Click List and double-click the new token.
  6. Click OK. The new token is added to the definition.
  7. In the Definition of the Selected Transaction pane, select Optional or Repeats. These make the new token an optional or repeatable item in the transaction layout.
    • To repeat, select the No Limit check box or specify the number of times in the field below the No Limit check box.
    • Select the Set check box to create a set in the transaction layout. Set is similar to a repeat with optional fields. The main difference is that no additional repeats are generated, so iteration is not required. A Set is represented by an opening and closing pair of parentheses. A segment set indicates that any segment can display in any order and only displays at most once.
  8. Select File > Save.
  9. Select File > Exit to exit the IDE. You can also right-click the NCPDP Telecom tab and select Close to close the NCPDP Telecom Configurator and remain in the IDE.
