Editing mappings

To edit a mapping, right-click the mapping in the tree and select Properties. The Properties of the Mapping dialog opens, where you edit the description and select the source tables and the target dimension.

On the Mapping tab you change the description. In the tree you see the mappings and their description. The mapping type cannot be edited. If you require the mapping of a different type, you must create an additional mapping.

On the Data sources tab you select the source tables of the mapping. In a tree, at the top level, you see the business entities that belong to the business group. At the level underneath you see the tables of the business entities. Only those source tables are displayed that match the mapping type, for example, currency tables for the mapping type Currencies. In each business entity, select the check box of the source table that you map to a dimension.

In the Target Dimension tab, you select the OLAP dimension into which the structures and data of the source tables is to be imported. If you later click these dimensions in the tree, you will find the Unified Data Source tab in the data area of the dimension. This tab contains the elements that you select in the data area of the mapping for the import.

Note: You select the elements that you import later, in the data area of the mapping on the Sources tab.
