Basic Structure

The example XML output file contains a series of <event> elements. Each <event> element can include <trigger>, <audit>, <issue> and <smart_tag> elements. In addition, <issue> elements can themselves contain nested <participant> and <audit> elements, and <audit> elements can contain <auditEmail> elements:

<events>
	<event>  
		<trigger />  
		<audit /> 
		<issue>
			<participant /> 
			<audit> 
			<auditEmail /> 
			<audit /> 
		<issue />
		<smart_tag /> 
	</event>
</events>  

All elements within the <event> element are optional.

An <issue> element always contains at least one <audit> element.

All elements can occur multiple times within an event.

Example: There may be several <trigger> elements within an <event>, or several <participant> within an <issue>.
