Fields Mapping (FastTab)

Fields Mapping (FastTab)
1

Table ID

1. Table ID
Specifies the Table ID. The program retrieves this value automatically from the General (FastTab)/Table ID.
2

Field ID

2. Field ID
Specifies the field ID. When "Field ID" is entered, the program enters the value for the field caption into field Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Value/Field Name, and the field Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Value/Field Name becomes non-editable. If "Field ID" is "0", the field Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Value/Field Name remains editable. The user can specify a fixed value or use text variables. More information is available in Text variables.

Value/Field Name

3. Value/Field Name
Specifies the value or field name. If Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Field ID is filled in , the program retrieves the field caption for this value and this field becomes non-editable. If Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Field ID is "0", this field remains editable. The user can specify a fixed value or use text variables. More information about text variables is available in Text variables.
 
Example:
4

SP Field Title

4. SP Field Title
Specifies a SharePoint list field.
5

Required

5. Required
Specifies that the Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Value/Field Name field is required. If the field Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Value/Field Name is empty, the program will show an error. This property is used when a field does not have related content types, otherwise Content (Field)/Required is used.
6

Only for New Items

6. Only for New Items
Specifies whether this mapping applies to new records only.
 
Example:
The program should set the value of a field "Inserted By" on a SharePoint list. The field value is filled with "USERID". If a user updates the record, the program cannot send value again as the current user ID would overwrite the field "Inserted By", thereby corrupting the fields meaning.
 
7

Field Type

7. Field Type
Specifies the field type. The program retrieves this value automatically from SharePoint, but the user can change this type manually.
  • Standard - A standard field without extended functionality.
  • Lookup - The field is related to another SharePoint list field. The field value is not a static value, but it a record ID reference. SharePoint converts the record ID, and displays a value as defined by settings.
  • SP User - The field value relates to a user.
  • WF Status - The field value is of a "Workflow Status" type.
  • Navigate - The field is used as a relation to another table and SharePoint list. Navsherpa creates navigation records and they are displayed on related tables.

Create Lookup Record

8. Create Lookup Record
Specifies whether to create a lookup record. This field can only be set for fields with Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Field Type = "Lookup". When this field is set, the program attempts to retrieve a record from the SharePoint list as specified in Fields Mapping (FastTab)/Lookup SharePoint List Title. If the record is not found, the program attempts to send the required record to the lookup SharePoint list. Create Lookup Record "protects" lookup fields from having empty values.
