A data profile maps fields from a source file to properties of LogiSense objects. They allow you to validate and transform input data before it is imported. Data profiles can be used by the data import process to:
import orders from CRM/CPQ
consildate invoices from disparate billing systems
process move/add/changes for devices/device states
quickly import data from a legacy billing system
Automatic Field Detection
The platform is capable of auto-detecting source file fields and datatypes. If the first row of the import file contains field labels then EnageIP will automatically detect and name the field. It will also determine the datatype using a sample from the file. This greatly speeds up the implementation of import processes.
Transactional Control Using Envelopes
Data profiles allow you to define how much of the import process is included in a single transaction. It is possible to import each row separately as its own transaction, the entire file as a single transaction, or divide the file into chunks. This can be used to prevent partial import as the rows wrapped in a single envelope will roll back if there is a failure anywhere in the process.
Visual Map
The visual map provides a graphical representation of the process of the data import process. It allows you to visually map and transform input fields to LogiSense Billing objects. For more information see Mapping.
