Value Mapping FAQs

Updated on

  1. Can I create one:many or many:many value mappings?   
    1. Yes.  For example, a one:many operates as "if A then B and C" where B and C are both simultaneously set upon A occurring.  This is a common set up and can be done by adding more column headers (Fields) .
  2. Do value mappings need to be the same data type, i.e. string?  
    1. Yes.
  3. How do I delete a Pass Thru mapping?  
    1. Hover over the mapping.  A trashcan icon  will appear on the mapping.  Click "Delete Mapping" to completely delete mapping.
  4. What happens if I accidentally delete a value mapping?   
    1. Don't worry.  Navigate to the Audit Trail and copy the deleted values.  Re-paste (CTRL+V) them into a new mapping.
  5. Is there any difference between doing Value Mappings from the Mapping or Fields screen?
    1. No.
  6. Can I change the data type of a field if the field is used in a mapping/rule? 
    1. No.
