Map images automatically

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

Is there a way to automate the mapping of file names from the import file to the Images that already exist in Images table (in the data manager)?

Currently the Import server only map the fields but not the values so i have to access the Import Manager and click on the automap button.

Thank you in advance

Hi Limor,

Check the below steps:

1. Import all the images in the repository

2. In Import Manager, map the image field name with the Images field

3. In Configurations options, set the parameter Automap unmapped values to Yes under Default MDIS Handling and save the map.

4. Try to import using Import Server

Hi Limor,

you can do this by any of the following ways:

1) Make the table "REMOTE KEY" enabled and when you are importing the same value,it will be auto mapped. No need to automap.

2)If you define this field as "TEXT" , then also the value would be autoconverted.

Hi ,

Yes you can do this in follwoing manner.

1. Make a field "Images" in your import file(assumiing its a .xls file).

2. Against each record mention the name of image(name should be same as the corresponding name of image you have stored in Images Table in jpg format).

3. while importing map this field images to the Images object table you have created in mdm.

4. Match records by Part No.

5.. Execute import and save this map. You can use this map for future auto imports.

NOTE: Name of image against each record in source file must match corresponding image name as stored in image table of mdm.
