Graphical Data Mapping editor

Use the Graphical Data Mapping editor to create and edit graphical data maps.

You can use the Graphical Data Mapping editor to take input (source) objects and transform them before you save the resulting output (target) objects.

Here is an example of the Graphical Data Mapping editor:

The Graphical  Mapping editor has an input object column and an output object column

The input objects are shown on the left side of the canvas, and the output objects are shown on the right side. You can create connections between the input and output elements by clicking the grab handle Grab handle icon, which is shown when you point to an element, and dragging the mouse to the element to which you want to connect. You can create connections either from left to right or from right to left.

The Properties pane displays the properties of the map, its input and output elements, and transformations. For information about configuring the properties, see Mapping properties.

When you are working with the maximized view of the Graphical Data Mapping editor, you can bring the Properties pane back into focus (so that you can display or update a property setting) in either of the following ways:
  • Right-click the object and then select Show in > Properties view.
  • Use the appropriate keyboard combination, which, by default, is Alt+Shift+Q, R. You can configure these shortcut keys by selecting Window > Preferences > General > Keys.
