Understanding how smart mapping works

Smart mapping automatically matches input and output fields based on name, type, or context. It simplifies data mapping by reducing manual effort and helping ensure accurate field alignment during integration or configuration.

Procedure

  1. Go to Settings > Capabilities.
  2. Enable the Smart Mapping option. Enabling the Smart Mapping option provides you with mapping recommendations whenever you do mapping. By enabling this option, you are also providing us with your consent to collect your mapping information.
  3. Select a project and then the flow service for which you want to do smart mapping.
  4. In the pipeline-mapping page, select Recommend mappings to see the recommended mappings. If you select the Show only mapped option, the Recommend mappings option is automatically cleared. When the screen is initially loaded, only high recommendations appear by default.
  5. Drag the Prediction accuracy slider to view the mapping recommendations and filter the recommendations based on their recommendation accuracy. Based on the level of mapping confidence, the recommendations are grouped into High, Medium, and Low categories:
    • Mappings have the highest probability
    • Mappings have medium probability
    • Mappings have the least probability

    You can select more than one category by moving the slider. Mappings that have medium and high probability appear.

  6. Select a mapping and click Accept to hard map it. You can select one or more recommendations and accept only those recommendations Selected (x), or you can accept all the recommendations that appear on the screen All shown (x) . The accepted recommendation behaves like an actual mapping.
  7. To remove a hard mapping, select the hard mapping and then press delete. After the hard mapping is deleted, the recommendations appear again. To hard map the recommendations again, click Accept and select the wanted option.

What to do next

Note: If you are an administrator of a paid tenant, and have disabled the Smart Mapping option, a message is displayed in the flow service editor asking if you want to enable mapping recommendations. If you choose Yes, the Recommend Mappings option appears in the pipeline-mapping screen.
