Field Mapping (Concept)

Field Mapping allows users to create logical connections between metadata content in Grooper and an external storage platform.

For example, field mappings can be created between data elements in a data model in Grooper and corresponding metadata fields in an external content management system. A Data Field capturing an invoice document's invoice number could be mapped to a field in the content management system named "Invoice Number". After those data fields are extracted from a document set, when the documents are exported their information will populate the mapped fields in the content management system.

Field mappings can be used for both import and export operations.

• While exporting data from Grooper to an external platform via field mappings is more common, document metadata from an external storage platform can be imported into Grooper via field mappings as well.
