The Attribute Formula Builder is used to build mappings for mapped CSV and publication export templates. The Attribute Formula Builder is accessed on the Edit Mappings page when you are editing an export template.
To use the Attribute Formula Builder to create a mapping:
- Repository: Select the repository that has the desired attribute. The repository's attributes will be listed at the bottom of the window, in the attributes list.
- Catalog Node: If you select a Catalog Node, the attribute list will be filtered to show only the category attributes for the node.
- Attribute Filter: If you enter text in this field, the text will be used to filter the attribute list.
- The formula uses VTL format. Edit the VTL formula as desired. For more information about VTL, see the Advanced VTL Mapping Guide.
- To add an attribute to the formula, select it. The attribute will be added to the Attribute Formula area on the right.
- To preview the output of the Attribute Formula, select the Preview tab at the top of the window. Enter test data in the value fields and render the text by clicking the Preview button at the bottom of the preview window.
- To edit the formula again, click back to the Builder tab.
- To save the formula click Save on either the Builder or Preview tab.
