Map Data
- Gina Dykeman
If you’ve just uploaded a source file, you should see the name of the source file with Field Mappings.
If not, navigate to Database > Upload Dataset, select the Source File and Build Import button on the right.
After the source file has been uploaded, it’s time to map where you want the data to reside in Slate. This is done in three mapping stages. For more information and steps, select one of the links, below:
Use the sidebar on the right to move between the stages.
Tips and Notes
Delimiters
If a field may have more than one answer, for example, Academic Interest, a delimiter can be used -- and mapped -- so Slate can group all the values accordingly.
Pro Tip: If Destination Values do not populate in the spaces provided, leave it unmapped. You can create Fields and Prompts so that Source Field data can be mapped to the desired location.
