An Ebix Entry project is created by Transformer to store and manipulate the configuration information that is required to modify metadata of an e-business message using Dictionary Builder. This information includes:

• The component set (such as header and structure) for a data dictionary.
• Two-way mapping layout (e-business format to XML and vice versa) that is read-only.
• Applicable data dictionary parts provided by a custom or system library (optional).

Ebix entry projects support the following formats:

• EDI HIPAA
• EDI X12
• EDIFACT
• HL7
• SWIFT

All Ebix Entry projects are distinguished by .ebx extensions. The following section describes the basics of working with Ebix Entry projects.
