Mapping
Mapping lets you automatically copy and transform data from one or more source tables into a target table. It is typically used to transfer data between partners — for example, from a supplier catalog to a retailer catalog.
Mapping rules are executed asynchronously, on demand or on a schedule (usually nightly). You can also apply rules to a selected list of items if an action is configured. Each source item is matched to a target item via a pivot identifier — a field whose value is shared between the two tables.
Setup
Setting up mapping requires three steps:
- Enable the rules engine — the rules engine must be enabled on your account before you can link tables. Contact Product-Live support to enable the feature.
- Link tables - connect the target table to one or more source tables and choose a pivot identifier.
- Create a mapping rule - configure the action and conditions for each target field.
