Only those fields associated with prompt lists in Slate appear at the Prompt Value Mappings stage. Fields that are "text" fields (for example, First Name, Last Name, Email, and Unique ID) will not appear in the Prompt Value Mappings stage since they are all unique and are not associated with a set list of prompts.

Info

The first time a source file is mapped the list of Prompt Value Mappings source fields do not reflect all related data points from the incoming file. When this is the case, the following warning appears:

This source has fields for which values have not yet been populated. Click "Refresh Values" above to scan the source files to identify possible values.
