Adeptia Connect offers you two kind of interfaces (textual and graphical) to create and use mapping rules while mapping the source and destination elements. The interfaces are known as "Textual Rule" and "Graphical Rule". The graphical interface makes it easy for you to see the graphical representation of elements and allows you to perform mapping by connecting source element to any target element or to any mapping functions.  Applying mapping rule is also very convenient as you can see the functions graphically and use the context menu options to connect to both source and target elements.

This section guides you on how to use the Graphical rule option while mapping and also introduces the different components of this option.

Elements of Graphical Rule

The Mapping Expression area has a floating menu that contains two options for you to switch between the Graphical and Textual rule. You can drag this floating menu anywhere in the Mapping Expression area. 

Graphical elements are components which are used to represent any source, destination, mapping function, or parameter elements visually in Mapping Expression area. The following types of annotations described type, behavior, and functioning of the graphical interface and their elements. This component itself composed of various parts which are described below:

  • Inputs
  • Label
  • Context Menus

Inputs: This shows the number of inputs a mapping function or a target element can have. Also, you can drag a line from input element to this section to use that as input in this mapping function/target element.

Label
& Graphical Element Type: Label displays the name and Graphical Element Type
: It tells the name of the element.

Element Type: This displays the type of element
which is
being used in the mapping rule.
Type is displayed at the right top corner of the mapping element while name is displayed below it. See the above screenshot. Possible types are as below
The following list explains the types of elements:
