Data Mapping

Mapping is the process of linking and aligning data fields between two systems—typically from a source system (System A) to a destination system (System B).

In the context of a Flow in Reachware, mapping ensures that each field from the source system is correctly matched to the appropriate field in the destination system. This is essential for accurate data transformation and seamless integration.

Professional Hint:

Think of mapping as a translator:

“Take this field from System A and place it into this corresponding field in System B.”

Why is Mapping Important?

✅ Maintains data consistency between systems
✅ Ensures accurate data transformation
✅ Provides flexibility in how fields are aligned
✅ Enables automation, reducing manual intervention

Using Query Parameters in a Flow

Professional Hint:
Remember when you created the operation, you may have defined some parameters to be used in the Flow.

Here’s how to use them in the Flow Template:

Click on the Mapping Icon
From Flow Templet Go to the source system in your flow and click the Mapping icon.

Popup Window Opens

This will open a new popup window (prompt screen) where you can configure the parameters.

Using the Options

In this window, you will find multiple configuration options. Let’s start with:

Fill Destination Button

Clicking this button will auto-fill the parameter fields with those you defined earlier when creating the operation.
By default, the values from the Operation setup will appear if you saved initial value.
You can then edit those values and enter the desired input as needed.

Auto Fill

Clicking this button will auto-fill the parameter fields with those you defined earlier when creating the operation.

Clear Mapping

Removes all existing field mappings between the source and target data structures.
