Pathfinder auto-mapping

Prev Next

The Pathfinder auto-mapping automatically generates AI-supported mappings within an existing profile.

The mapping suggestions are grouped and displayed by confidence level:

  • Confident matches

  • Need review

  • No match

The rationale for the respective confidence level is displayed under Details. Suggested mappings can be reviewed and selected for application using the checkbox.

NOTE:

In the current version, Pathfinder Auto-Mapping is limited to 700 mapping fields:

  • If a structure comprises more than 300 fields, a notice is displayed. You can continue or cancel the process.

  • If the structure comprises more than 700 fields, a notice is displayed. In this case, Auto-Mapping cannot proceed.

Settings

Upload or select test file (dialog)

This dialog runs the auto-mapping with or without a test file. You can either select a test file from the file list or upload a new one.

NOTE:

The format of a test file must match the Document type of the profile.

Name

Description

+ Upload new file

Opens the system file selection dialog to add a new test file for auto-mapping to the list.

File list

Selectable rows with the available test files, each with name, description, file size, and date.

Map without test file

Check box to proceed without a test file. Pathfinder then validates the profile using synthetic data; the results may differ from real data.

Continue mapping

Confirms the selection and continues to the mapping step. Disabled as long as no file is selected or Map without test file is enabled.

Cancel

Cancels the mapping process and closes the dialog.

Pathfinder auto-mapping (dialog)

Metrics

This dialog shows which matches the Pathfinder auto-mapping found.

Mapped by you shows which mappings you made manually. Further categories are described in the table in the Matches section.

Mapping structure

Displays existing and selected mappings between the source and target structure. The auto-mapping doesn't suggest mappings that are already mapped. These appear only in the mapping structure, not in the table, and aren't editable here.

Matches

Shows the auto-mapping results grouped by confidence level. The mappings can be selected for application using the checkbox.

If Pathfinder is unavailable or an error occurs during the request, a corresponding error message is displayed.

Tabs

Name

Description

Confident matches

The source elements that Pathfinder mapped with high confidence. These are already selected for inclusion in the mapping by default.

Need review

The suggested mappings with lower confidence that require a manual decision. These are not included in the source and target structure by default and must be selected manually using the check-box.

No match

The elements for which Pathfinder found no matching counterpart and that must be mapped manually.

Table

Name

Description

Checkbox

Checkbox for selecting the mappings.

Source structure

Column showing the suggested source elements.

Mapping

Shows whether a mapping exists between the source and target elements. Clicking in this column highlights the corresponding mapping in the source and target structures. Mappings are marked in this column as follows:

A simple folder icon representing file storage or organization in digital systems.

Node selected

A simple folder icon representing Azure Files or organization in digital systems.

Node not selected

A green circle representing a key concept or data point in a data visualization context.

Mapping selected automatically (confident match)

A yellow circle representing a key concept or dimension member in a data visualization diagram.

Mapping selected manually (need required)

A simple black dot centered in a white background, symbolizing focus or attention.

Mapping not selected, or no mapping available

Target structure

Column showing the suggested target elements.

Details

Shows the reasoning for the respective mapping. For example:

  • Confident matches

  • Review required

  • No match:

NOTE:  Since Pathfinder only supports English, the rationale is displayed in English.
