Mapping Editor Target Pane

The Target pane displays the model where data is extracted.

The target pane is generally on the right in the Mapping Editor, except with reverse mapping editing (see Creating Forward and Reverse Mappings).

The following tools are available in this pane:

Tool

Description

Properties - Opens the property sheet of the selected target object.

Create Mapping - Creates a mapping between selected source and target objects. The mapping is materialized by a link and the mapping details appear in the Mappings pane. The tool behavior depends on the two selected objects:
  • Folder, model or sub-object mapped to object - A selection dialog lets you select an appropriate object in the source model.
  • Object mapped to object or sub-object mapped to sub-object - Objects are mapped together along with sub-objects with matching names and codes.
  • Object mapped to sub-object - A selection dialog lets you select an appropriate sub-object from the selected object in the source model.

Delete Mappings - Deletes all the mappings for the selected target object. Alternately select a target object and press the Del key (or right-click and select Delete Mapping) to delete the mapping with its source object.

To delete a target object, select it and press Shift+Del (or right-click and select Delete).

Filter Mappings - Filters mappings to show:
  • All mappings
  • Only mappings of the selected object
  • Only mappings of the selected object and its sub-objects
Filter Objects - Filters objects to show:
  • All objects
  • Only objects with mappings
  • Only objects without mappings

Find Target Object - Finds an object in the Target pane and highlights it.
