Review a column mapping and its output

Use the real mapping controls, inspect the separate CSV and retain the mapping recipe.

For operators

Use made-up files for practice. FeedBench checks on this device only. No file is uploaded or sent into a live product.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Review a column mapping and its output

  1. Open the prepared mapping

    Open the prepared mapping.

    Try the made-up CardBench mapping. Read how each source column fills a new column before creating a preview.

  2. Create and review the mapped preview

    Create and review the mapped preview.

    Create a separate file in the chosen layout. Review the output carefully. These receiving rules are draft checks and do not prove that a live import will succeed.

  3. Download the reviewed CSV preview

    Download the reviewed CSV preview.

    Read the warning and accept only if you want the development preview. The source bytes stay unchanged. The receiving copies field is emitted as a whole number.

  4. Download the mapping choices

    Download the mapping choices.

    Save the mapping recipe for reuse. Reusing a recipe does not remove the need to check the next file.

  5. Download a report without private rows

    Download a report without private rows.

    The default PDF contains counts and problem locations. It leaves out your values unless you explicitly add records.

  6. Save the work on this device

    Save the work on this device.

    Save on a device you control. Local work is not a cloud backup or an approved production import.

  7. Download a portable backup

    Download a portable backup.

    Keep a backup if you need to reopen this work elsewhere. It contains your files and settings, so store it securely.
