2021.1

To save a data mapping configuration:
l In the "Menus" on page304, click on File > Save, or click on Save As to save a copy of a
data mapping configuration under a different name.
l In the "Toolbar" on page379, click the Save button.
If the data mapping configuration has not been saved before, you have to browse to the location
where the data mapping configuration should be saved and type a name, then click Save.
Down-saving a data mapping configuration
The Connect software is backwards compatible: data mapping configurations that were made
with an older version of Connect can always be opened with the newest version of the
software.
But newer data mapping configurations cannot be opened with an older version of the software.
Connect, however, allows you to save a data mapping configuration in the format of a previous
version of the software, so that you may restore a data mapping configuration that was
accidentally opened and saved in a newer version, or share a data mapping configuration with
users of a previous version of Connect.
To down-save a data mapping configuration, select File > Save a Copy, from the menu. Select
the software version and click OK. Next you can select a location and give the template a
name, as usual.
To save a copy, follow the same procedure without selecting a previous version of the
software.
Note
Since it was not possible to create a data mapping configuration for a JSON file (without
conversion to XML) until version 2021.1, these data mapping configurations cannot be
saved in the format of an earlier version.
Using the wizard for CSV and Excel files
The DataMapper wizard for CSV and Excel files helps you create a data mapping configuration
for such files. The wizard automatically detects delimiters and extracts all data in one extraction
step.
