Field Mapping Restrictions

Different restrictions apply to different types of field mapping rows:

1

Required field mappings are set by default and cannot be disabled or modified. The entire row appears faded with text in light gray color on the mapping screen.

2

Default field mappings are set by default. They cannot be deleted but allow the following changes:

  • Enable/Disable the field mapping by clicking the toggle in the Active column.

  • Set the source to a different value or use advanced mapping.

  • Check the Initial only option to use the field mapping to update the target field value in the initial integration run only.

Default field mappings cannot be deleted and the OpenAir field displays in light gray text for these rows.

3

If you set the target to a different value and save the configuration. The default field mapping will be restored to its original definition and the repurposed default field mapping will be saved as a new custom field mapping.

Important:

Refresh the screen to display the changes on the mapping screen.

4

You can add new mapping rows and define custom field mappings. The following field mappings are invalid and will be ignored:

  • The target field is blank.

  • The target field is a constant.

  • Duplicate target fields. If two or more otherwise valid field mappings have the same target field, only the last one will be used. Any field mapping defined in of the rows above with duplicate target fields will be ignored.

Note:

Pullback field mappings are defined in the same way as custom field mappings.

Tip:

Use the strict mapping validation features to ensure your mappings are free from error before saving them. See Validating Your Field Mapping Definitions.
