While the data from multiple industry standards are imported and stored in the STEP system, handling of data across different industry standards and data models can pose significant challenges. The Data Onboarding solution offers a set of tools designed to facilitate the mapping of data between different industry standards or to and from a proprietary data model. This is accomplished by configuring mappings to either onboard or offboard data from one standard to another.
The mapping functionality enables the copying and transformation of data from one STEP object to another. With the appropriate configurations in place, this solution can extract data points from the source or its associated objects and transfer them to a target or its related objects. Additionally, when necessary, it can generate a new target object and its associated hierarchy. This solution provides the flexibility to seamlessly move data across diverse data models.
Data mapping can be executed directly on the selected source object or executed to multiple objects simultaneously through bulk update actions. Data mapping doesn't always have to be carried out while standing on the source object, it can also be performed while standing on the target object.
Furthermore, it is possible to automate the data onboarding process during an import. After some initial configurations in the Web UI design mode, users gain the ability to view, edit, and create Mapper Configuration setup entities and Mapper plugins through the Onboarding Mappings Detail Screen.
