      Creating a Data Map for IFS Apps 10

      How to use IFS Apps 10 data maps

      IFS Apps 10 data maps allow you to integrate FormsPro data with IFS. 
      1. Open the form for which you want to create a data map.
      2. Choose (Form Settings), then scroll to the right and click the Data Maps tab.
      3. Click (Add button) to open the Data Mapping window.
      4. Select IFS Apps 10 as the data map type, then name your form map. This is the name for the set of information you’re mapping. Because you can create multiple maps for each form, use a name that helps you identify the information in the map. Select the IFS Apps 10 connection that was set up in the Data Connections window then click Save.
      5. Click  (Add Step button) and/or (Add Step Group button) to complete the data map steps.
      6. Enter a label for the step. It is helpful to be descriptive with step labels. They are used in the Data Maps Log.
      7. If the data map is for media attachments, select Attach Media. If the data map is for report attachments, select Attach Report. Otherwise select the HTTP verb method and enter the request URL. Consult the documentation for your endpoint for guidance on which HTTP verb should be used.
      8. Enter authentication information and insert the form fields.
      9. If your form has a repeatable group, or a dynamic table with rows/groups in them, you may need to "tell" the map to iterate (loop) over each row/group and send the data individually to an endpoint in IFS Cloud. Select the iteration target to specify which part of the data structure should be iterated over during the mapping process. It indicates where the repeating elements begin and end. 
      10. If you want to preview the information that is going to be sent, click Preview to open the Preview window.
      11. Select a form submission and the JSON of what will be sent when the data map executes will be displayed. Any errors that may occur for the data map is displayed too. 
      12. Click Save, then click OK to close the Form Settings window.
        Your map is set up and you can complete the integration in IFS. When forms are submitted, you should see data from the form appearing in the IFS Cloud.
      13. View the Data Maps Log to ensure the data map ran successfully. We recommend that you specify an email to send the Data Map event error log reports to ensure the right personnel is aware of the errors and failures.
