Attribute Mapping

Attribute mapping links a code (or tag) to a rule and value.

It is one part of a three-step process that can trigger document generation for specific platform activities. One example is generating carton labels when the DVU user completes a cartonization run.

• The first step, discussed in this article, is to upload Jasper (jrxml) or Crystal Reports (rpt) files to the platform.

• The second step, discussed in this article, links a code to one or more documents.

Mapping attributes

1. Go to Home > Business Partners > Accounts.

2. Open an account (or create a new account).

3. Click Attribute Mapping on the side menu. A new page displays.

To map attributes:

1. Click the top field and make sure the drop-down menu shows the same code or prefix used on the Document Mapping page (e.g. Order Mapping Code).

2. Copy the mapping from the Document Mapping page into the blank field on the Attribute Mapping page.

3. Click the next field and choose a process (e.g. Cartonization Rule).

4. Click the next field(s) and enter the appropriate value(s).

5. Click the plus icon to add the mapping to the page.

6. Repeat the steps to add more mapping.

When complete, DVU displays each mapping as a row in the table.

• To delete a row, select a mapping and click the Delete button.

• To change a rule, click the Value field. Select an option on the drop-down menu and click Save Partner.
