The data mapping workflow always starts with the Preprocessor step and ends with the
Postprocessor step and can contain as many of the different steps available in the
DataMapper.
Data Model
A Data Model is the format into which Records are saved.It is also a file format that can be
exchanged between different parts of the PlanetPress Connect solution.
Data Source (Settings)
A data source is simply the source of the data. It can be a file (CSV, PDF, TXT, XML) or a
particular database. The data might be located on the same computer as the program, or on
another computer somewhere on a network.
Data Mapping Configuration
A Data Mapping Configuration file can refer to either the current active configuration in the
DataMapper, or a file on disk containing the information necessary for data mapping. It contains
the extraction workflow (steps), Delimiter and Boundary Settings, and any imported Data
Samples.
Creating A New Data Mapping Configuration
You can create a new Data Mapping configuration from a data file by using a wizard or
manually.
From a File
When creating a data mapping configuration from a file, you first select the file you want to
extract the data from. As opposed to using a wizard, you will later need to configure the settings
to extract the data. Please refer to Configuring Settings For The Data Source for more
information.
To create a Data Mapping from a file, use the following steps:
