Add and Configure Actions

To integrate information retrieved from a DataSource into a List, field mapping actions are performed. This process ensures accurate data merging by setting a common field as a Key between the DataSource and List records. Through this mapping, data from various sources can be effectively consolidated and managed.

What is Key?

A common value used to merge data from the DataSource into the List.

Action Mapping Notes

• DataSource Field

  Displays the fields from the object specified in the DataSource. These fields provide the source data to be integrated into the List.

• List Field

  Displays the fields from the object specified in the List Configurator. These fields serve as the destination for mapping the DataSource data.

• Virtual Field

  Displays virtual columns created in the List. These fields allow for displaying additional data derived from the DataSource without modifying the original object structure.
