FastMap overview

This topic provides an overview of the tasks using FastMap to import data into IBM OpenPages® with Watson™.
Note: FastMap import is not supported for File and Signature objects or for the system Comment field.

The FastMap tool validates and imports object data.

When you import an object using FastMap, the imported object fields are determined by the fields in the applicable Admin view. If there is no applicable Admin view, Fast Map import will use the profile fields.

The following fields are not imported:

  • Any field set to Read only in the Admin view for the object
  • Any field not in the Admin view for the object
  • Any field included in the Other fields section of the Admin tab for the object

Field dependency rules are not evaluated for FastMap imports. This allows FastMap users to stage data, requiring users to enter required data during subsequent updates.
