Mapping Columns Automatically

If you have mapped a Table Descriptor to a Table instance, but have not mapped the columns, then the system can map columns automatically.

Do the following:

1. In the Program instance's Properties screen, Table Descriptors subtab, click the icon in the Mapping column for the Table Descriptor whose Columns you want to map.
2. Click the Reset to Default Mapping button. For each Table Descriptor, the system checks the Table instance for a column with a matching name or a matching variable reference. If it finds one, it maps the Table Descriptor column with the Table instance column.

Nothing happens if you click this button when the Table Descriptor and Table instance mapping is already complete.

If the system cannot find matching column names or variable reference names between the Table Descriptor and the Table instance, then you cannot automatically map in this way. You need to map columns manually as described in the next section.
