<Formatters>

<Formatters> is an optional element that you can use to add formatters to your mapping file. A formatter is a piece of code that manipulates the imported data either before or after it is mapped to an Infor Public Sector or agency business object. There are two types of formatters:

• Field formatters act on specific pieces of data. You can write field formatters for two events in an import mapping: BeforeMapFrom and AfterMapFrom.
• Data formatters apply to the entire document, or to steps within the document. You can write data formatters for four events in an import mapping: BeforeMapObjectFrom, AfterMapObjectFrom, BeforeMapDocumentFrom, and AfterMapDocumentFrom.
