Datamap Mapping Status

What is the Status

The status is used to mark datamap rows. This is not only for a visual purpose, this adds filter functionality to the export. You can run jobs and export rows based on their status. For example, with the status a row can be marked as “Draft”, when the configuration is incomplete. Then, when running the job, you can filter the rows so only rows with the status “Approved” will be exported.

Changing the status

OWL Assistant

Open up the assistant by clicking on the bottom of the datamap

 
There you can set the status for the datamap row

 

Attribute Settings

You can also open up the configuration (settings) of the format plugin using the cogwheel. There you can change the status of the selected row.

Adding a new status

All status are stored in a SAWS Value List. You can add entries to this List. Just ensure that the external key is unique. (Do NOT duplicate rows since you then can’t change the external key!)
 
Every value contains a JSON which looks like this:
 
{“icon”: “[html_font_awesome_4_icon_here]”, “text”: “[insert_title_here]”, “color”: “[insert_hex_here]”}
 
A list of icons can be found here: https://fontawesome.com/v4/icons/
 
The icon needs to be a html entity like this: &#xf275

Then you can select the new status

Limiting the export with the status

In the job settings you can filter the datamap rows to the status. Then only rows will be exported, that match the selected status.
