Data Mapping
The MapForce interface facilitates data integration with a graphical interface that includes many options for managing, visualizing, manipulating, and executing individual mappings and complex mapping projects. Use the design pane to graphically define mapping components, add functions and filters for data manipulation, and drag connectors to transform between source and target formats.
The design pane includes user-friendly features to help you to easily work with, identify, and redefine even the most complex data mappings. For example, clicking an item name automatically selects it for connecting to another item. Pop-up prompts appear when you position your mouse over parts of the data mapping connections where you can view additional information such as mapping target item(s) or datatype.
Connections are easily moved by clicking and dragging to the desired target, and duplicate connectors (from the same source to another target) can be created by dragging a connection while simply holding down the CTRL key. Activating the autoconnect child items icon automatically connects all child items of the same name under the parent item.
Any data mapping project can have multiple inputs and multiple outputs and combine completely disparate data types.
Advanced data mapping tools in MapForce include a rich library of data processing functions to perform virtually any necessary data conversion required by the integration project, and a handy overview window lets you visualize an entire data mapping project and zoom in on specific areas as needed and indicates position within the map when you scroll through the design pane. You can navigate even the largest data mapping project with ease!
