- Exact Match with an Existing Catalog Field
- Mapping Based on Previous Associations
Scenario 1: Exact Match with an Existing Catalogue Field
When you create a Catalogue field in Zeotap CDP, the field name becomes an auto-mapping parameter. If an incoming source field matches the Catalogue name, then enabling auto mapping links them them automatically. Example- You create a Catalogue named artist_name.
- A new source file also contains a field named artist_name.
- In this case, enabling Auto mapping links the source field artist_name to the Catalogue field artist_name without manual intervention.
Scenario 2: Mapping Based on Previous Associations
If a source field was previously mapped to a Catalogue field, auto-mapping applies the same mapping when the field appears in a new source. Example- You previously mapped the source field product_type to the Catalogue field category.
- If a new source file contains the field product_type, **** then **** auto mapping suggests linking product_type to category, following the previous mapping.
