Automap is useful when wide files would make manual field mapping slow. In most cases, matching field names can cut setup time from minutes to seconds.
What You Will Learn
- Open the Automap dialogue from an import definition.
- Match source fields to target fields automatically.
- Review the generated mapping before saving it.
- Handle wide files without clicking through every column manually.
Before You Start
Use a source file and target table with matching or similar field names. If every column is called Column1, Column2, and Column3, Automap is not magic. It is software, not a mind reader.
