Importing & exporting map shape configurations

Introduction

If you're building multiple process flows with similar requirements for field mappings, you can export the configuration for a map shape, and then import that configuration into another map shape.

When a map shape configuration is exported, a JSON file is generated and saved (automatically) to the default download folder for your browser. All field mappings and associated transformations are exported. You can then import this file to any other map shape within:

• The same process flow

• Other process flows for your company profile

• Other process flows for any of your linked company profiles
