Defining Transformations

Every partner's content is different in format and structure, and every catalog requires its own format and structure based on its type. You can define transformations to translate each partner's catalog content into the appropriate catalog format and structure. To simplify the source-to-target mapping effort, Catalog Management automates most data transformation setup and maintenance. Before defining catalog maps, you can:

• Set up target field default values.

• Define filtering rules to identify structured content that does not meet standard criteria.

• Standardize the domain of attribute values by replacing attribute values with equivalent predefined values.

• Perform calculations to derive additional attributes.

• Perform string manipulations.
