[[[start | Up To Main Menu ]]] ====== Configure Data Mapping ====== Mapping is normally done with iMap, the GUI mapping tool. This section discussed mapping using the green screen. ===== Selecting the Spool File ===== There are many ways to launch mapping; the most basic is to go to **menu IDOCS**, take **option 1**, and the select **option 2** on the form application or check for which you wish to map. The Data Mapping with Spool File screen is display.

The purpose of this display is to select the spool file page with which to map. One should page down until the spool file page with the most representative data appears. Then, position the cursor over the page and press to select. ===== Creating Mapped Fields ===== Next appears the selected spool file page ready for you to specify mapped fields.

To create a mapped field, position the cursor over the start and press F8. Next, move the cursor to the end of the field and press F8 again. The mapped field window (below) appears for you to finish the mapped field definition. When that is complete the program returns to this screen for you to map additional fields. When finished you may press F3 to exit. Some considerations: * When marking the end of the mapped field remember to allow for the maximum extent of the field. If the field is potentially 30 characters in length remember to map all 30 characters. * When mapping number remember to map first the full extent of the number to the left, because numbers usually have leading blanks, and the full extent to the right because numbers may have a trailing negative sign. ===== Mapped Field Maintenance =====

* **Field Name**: Enter the name for this field, and then enter a description. Alternatively, press F4 and select from the list of keywords for the field name. If you specify a key word you are stipulating to iDocs that the content of this mapped field is used for a particular purpose. See [[fieldnamekeywords | Field Name Key Words ]] for a complete list. * **Horizontal Position**: X coordinate position of the top, left of the mapped field. 0 is the left margin. 300 pixels per inch. * **Vertical Position**: Y coordinate position of the top, left of the mapped field. 0 Is the top of the page.300 pixels per inch. * **Map Field**: Used to reference a mapped field number for mapping created with the Forms Designer in conjuction with Map Type 3. This technique is currently obsolete having been replaced by iMap but is still supported. Normally blank. * **Map Type**: Determines the technique that will be used to define and position the field being mapped. The options are:\\ **2** = [[ absoluteplacement | Absolute Placement]]; **3** = [[ fieldpositioning | Map Field Positioning]]; **5** = [[ dynamicmacros | Dynamic Macros]] ; **6** = [[ databasefields | Database field retrieval]]; **7** = [[ check# | CHECK# retrieved from Bank master]]. **8** = [[ exceltemplates | *XLS Header Field]]; **9** = [[ exceltemplates | *XLS Detail Field]]; **1** = [[ exceltemplates | *XLS Total (Footer) Field]] * **Font**: Select a font from the list of LaserJet 4 printer resident fonts by pressing F4. * **Align**: Enter an alignment preference or leave blank. Accepted values are blank or 'N' = Neutral; 'C' = Center; 'L' = Left; 'R' = Right; 'G' = General format (6.92). When this field is ‘G’ then if the value is numeric, iDocs will format the numeric value as -134.456 and utilize right alignment. * **Line Spacing**: Number of pixels to increase the Y value of the pcl cursor when advancing lines in a multiline mapped field. The usual value is 50 pixels. * **Font Rotation**: Enter 90, 180, or 270 to rotate the mapped field. The direction of rotation is counter clockwise. * **Form Side**: Enter *NONE for a mapped field on a non-duplex document, *FRONT or *BACK for a duplex document. * **Color**: Select a color for data. * **Sort Sequence**: Sort sequence used to sort the pages in the input spool file on the value of this mapped field. Odd values specify ascending sequence, even values specify descending sequence. Lower numbers are a higher sort priority. The **F4** = [[ selectsort | Select Sort]] prompt will display a list of supported sort values. Note that while the sorting field may be of any length, only the first 25 characters of the mapped field are used to sort the spool file. View a [[ https://youtu.be/M8fGfJPoWsM|video for Bursting and Separation]] ideas for document automation. * **Bursting**: Close the spool file and open a new one if the value in this field has changed from the prior page. Enter a Y for bursting or N (default). * **Scaling Barcode**: **iBar** option for scale-able bar coding available in Version 6.80. (The Human Readable option was added in version 6.85.) The **F4** = [[ scalingfonts | Scaling Barcode Fonts]] prompt will display a list of supported Barcode Types. __Note:__ Each bar code must be licensed by entering the appropriate registration code on the Module Registration Screen. //Contact your Sales Person for additional information.// If Scaling barcodes are being mapped, leave the **Font** field (above) blank. * **Height (in inches)**: Specify the height of the scaling bar code in inches. i.e. 1.0 for 1 inch. * **Module Width(.01")**: For standard linear bar codes, specify the scaling bar code width of the individual 'bar' width. The actual width is determined by the number of characters represented. The default is 0.01. (One inch is 1.000). Caution, it is not the width of the printed bar code rather the width of each individual bar. For two-dimensional (or matrix square **Q**uick **R**esponse barcodes), leave the Height field blank and specify the desired width in inches. Normally the width can be left blank and the default will be used. * **Human Readable Text: Y/N**: For Scaling bar codes, Y will display the human readable text below the printed bar code for symbologies that support human readable text. i,e, it will be ignored for QR codes. N will not display the human readable text below the bar code. * [[conditionalMap | F2=Conditionally Map]]: Conditionally map data fields. * [[boxsettings | F9=Box Settings]]: Configure boxes around the mapped field text. * [[configurePath | F13=Configure Path]] : Configure location of dynamic macro files. \\ ---- [[[start | Up To Main Menu ]]]
