Field Mapping Rules

  • Any unrecognized field names will not be recognized and require field mapping.

  • One (1) source field CAN'T be mapped to multiple target fields

    • In this example, Issue Date is mapped to Certification Issue Date and Certification Original Issue Date.

      • Issue Date -> Certification Original Issue Date

      • Issue Date -> Certification Issue Date

  • Multiple source fields values CAN be mapped to one (1) target field

    • In this example, Cert Status and Status are mapped to Certification Status.

      • Cert Status -> Certification Status

      • Status -> Certification Status

    • In Excel, renaming the sheet tab name is considered a field mapping issue
