Setting Up Mappings

Mappings define how data from your sources is transformed and mapped to your target systems.

Understanding Mappings

A mapping consists of:

  • Source fields
  • Target fields
  • Transformation rules
  • Validation rules

Creating a New Mapping

  1. Go to the Mappings section
  2. Click "Create New Mapping"
  3. Select source and target
  4. Define field mappings

Mapping Types

Direct Mapping

  • One-to-one field mapping
  • No transformation needed
  • Direct data transfer

Transformation Mapping

  • Data type conversion
  • Format changes
  • Complex transformations

Conditional Mapping

  • Based on rules
  • If-then logic
  • Data filtering

Field Mapping Options

Basic Operations

  • Field renaming
  • Type conversion
  • Format adjustment

Advanced Operations

  • Concatenation
  • Splitting
  • Mathematical operations
  • Custom functions

Validation Rules

Set up validation to ensure data quality:

  • Required fields
  • Data type validation
  • Range checks
  • Custom validation rules

Testing Your Mapping

Before implementing:

  1. Use the mapping tester
  2. Review sample data
  3. Verify transformations
  4. Check error handling

Best Practices

  • Document your mappings
  • Use clear naming conventions
  • Test with various data scenarios
  • Monitor mapping performance

Next Steps
