Field Mapping
The Field Mapping window is used to make sure the uploaded database file's fields correspond to the one that was used to create the document. The window displays the Fields table with the following rows:
- Field Name: The list of all fields that the document expects to receive from the database. If there are more fields than expected in the uploaded database, dashes (-) will be displayed as placeholders and the corresponding upload field will not be used.
- Header: The list of fields in your database. If your database contains less fields than what is expected, a dash (-) will be displayed as a placeholder, and nothing will be displayed in the output for this field.
- Value: Displays the first record in the uploaded database next to its field name.
PrintShop Mail Web will attempt to automatically match fields in your uploaded database that match the field names it knows to use. If it cannot do this for one or more of the fields, you will have to reorder them manually.
PrintShop Mail always expects to find headers in the uploaded database. If your uploaded database does not contain field headers, the first record will display as the headers and the output will not contain that record.
To map the fields correctly:
- Drag and drop the upload field that corresponds to the expected database field to the first position in the field mapping table.
- Drag and drop the upload field that corresponds to the expected database field to the second position in the field mapping table.
- Repeat for all the fields.
- If some fields to not match, you can match them to a dash (-) field for it to be ignored.
Once you have completed the field mapping, click Next to get to the Preview Range window.
