Data table mapping creates a set of relations between:

  • Data tables and assigned groups/parts/commodity codes/idents

  • Data table attributes and the standard values that are displayed for parts/commodity codes/idents/specification codes

Mapping of a value to an attribute can be done in the following ways:

  • Data table dependent mapping

  • Data table independent mapping

Data table dependent mapping helps in creating a relationship between a data table and specification item. A specification item is a component of a specification.

Data table independent mapping, also called attribute mapping helps you define a relationship between attributes belonging to a data table and components (group, part, specification code, and so on).

The PDMS/ E3D export job first searches for a data table dependent mapping. If there is no data table dependent mapping for the item, the software searches for a data table independent mapping.

The search process proceeds in the following order:

idents, commodity codes, commodity parts or groups, specification items, specification headers.

If on one level no mapping is found, the search continues on the next level. In the Data Table Configurations tab, there is a configuration setting on the attribute level that can restrict the level of search . For more information, see Data Table Configurations.
