Creating a Mapping File

It is often the case that the data source may have different names than what is stored in the Clarify database. For example, your data load may list a country as "United States." In Clarify, it's listed as "USA."

Create a mapping file to help with this process. The mapping file default names, which can be changed in the interface, are:

Each of these three files has the same format: each line in the file is a mapping. Each line consists of a "from" name and a "to" name, separated by a comma. For example, the following file could be used for country mapping:

These files can be as long as needed, and a file can be created for any of the three. If the file does not exist in the interface directory, no mapping will occur.
