Mappings
A mapping connects two reference objects and defines translations between their respective reference values. The translations may represent both a hierarchical and a functional context.
Add mappings
Mappings are specified in a reference data model in the subpanel of a collection or reference object.
A new mapping is added by clicking the tab "Mappings" and the icon "+" (or by selecting "Add Mapping..." in the menu).
It is mandatory to assign a label and two reference objects (the source and target of the translations) to the mapping. In addition, a title and a description can be specified.
In case the mapping is added in the subpanel of a reference object, the source is automatically populated with this reference object and cannot be altered.
Clicking "Add" creates the mapping.
Mappings can also be created by duplicating other mappings.
Edit mappings
A mapping is edited in the main panel of the mapping, by clicking the edit icon (or by selecting "Edit Mapping" in the menu).
The edit mode allows the modification of all standard input fields. Additional, customer-specific fields can be added using annotations and will then also appear in the edit mode.
The source and target reference objects of a mapping are initially defined once and cannot be edited later.
The icons in the lower left corner of the edit view allow further settings to be made:
- Clicking
marks the element as favorite. - Clicking
marks the element as locked. - Clicking
marks the element as read-only.
Clicking "Save" applies the changes.
A mapping can be deleted in the main panel of the mapping, by selecting "Delete Mapping" in the menu.
