Mapping Items

On the Grids, DB Views, Drawings, Datasheets and Reports tabs, you can define the mappings for various attributes of the selected classes. The mappings specify how the attributes of AVEVA™ Engineering must map to the same of AVEVA™ Asset Information Management after they are imported into AVEVA™ Asset Information Management. Some mappings are added by default based on your project and the type of data you want to publish. You can add to, modify or remove the mappings based on your need. For information on how to modify the mappings, see Modify a Configuration.

Mappings are defined separately for grids, DB views, drawings, datasheets, and reports. The mappings you define in the Grids tab are used when exporting the grids data. Similarly, the mappings defined in the Drawings tab are used for exporting drawings and so for the Datasheets and Reports tabs.

Note: The Grids, DB views, Drawings, Datasheets, and Reports tabs support multi-selection and drag-and-drop operations. Using the multi-selection feature, you can select multiple nodes of the same level by holding the CTRL or SHIFT key and delete them by right-clicking and selecting Remove. Using the drag-and-drop feature, you can drag a node from one location to another. However, multi-selection together with drag-and-drop is currently not supported.

You can perform the following tasks on the Grids, DB views, Drawings, Datasheets, and Reports tabs:

• Adding File Node

• Mapping Object ID

• Adding Attributes to Classes

• Adding IF and FOR EACH Statements

• Adding Unmapped Attributes

This section describes the procedures to perform these tasks.

Note: You can also use regular expressions to provide the mappings. For more information about using regular expressions in the gateway, see Provide Filters and Mappings Using Regular Expressions.
