View

Description

Value mapping group

Displays the different representations of an object.

A value mapping group is identified uniquely by a GUID. You can also assign a name to a value mapping group. This does not have to be unique.

The following information is displayed in the Display Value Mapping Group editor:

  • The editor header displays the ID (GUID), name, and description of the group.

  • The following information is displayed in a table in the work area for each representation:

    • Agency

    • Identification Scheme

    • Value

  • The name of the group is displayed on the tab page index in the object editor. The system displays the GUID if you have not assigned a name to the group.

Value mapping agencies

This displays all value mappings that have been defined for specific source and target identifiers.

This view displays different representations and objects.

The following information is displayed in the Display Value Mapping Agencies editor:

  • The editor header displays the source and target agencies and identification schemes.

  • The following information is displayed in a table in the work area for each value mapping:

    • Value for source agency

    • Value for target agency

    • Group name or GUID (if no name was assigned during creation)

You can navigate to a different table view and open the editor for the selected group by double-clicking on a line.

These views are both shown in diagram form in the following graphic:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Example of Both Views of the Value Mapping Table

The example above groups the different representations of the object Mr. Glenn in the Glenn group, and the different representations of the object Mr. Rodriguez in the Rodriguez group.

A value mapping has been defined between the agencies CompanyA and MailOrderCompanyB for the Glenn group. Mr Glenn is managed under employee number 001 in CompanyA and customer number 007 in MailOrderCompanyB. No value mapping has been defined between these agencies for the Rodriguez group.
