In Sitecore 8.1 (and 8.2) List Manager, we want to customize the data that we upload through CSV into custom Contact facets.
This question is not asking how to add facets, and assumes that I have already correctly added facets to my contact model.
In order to do so, we have to add a ImportModelField
item under the ImportModel
on the ImportWizardDialog
box.
Question: I have not been able to figure out how/why the AutoMap
or AutoMapSource
check boxes exists. Does anyone know how to use this appropriately?
Findings Thus Far:
- When
AutoMap
is checked, the field is hidden from the Map modal above. However, the data stored in the facet (noted byDataField
) ends up being an email address, no matter how I attempt to map it. - When
AutoMapSource
is checked, it doesn't appear as though anything really auto maps since I have to map the field anyways through the Map dialog. - When both are checked, I just get an email address where I would've expected data from the CSV.
ASSUMPTIONS
I have validated that the CSV file uploads as expected into the associated facets when I manually map the File field to the Sitecore Field.
I assume and would expect that if my "FieldName" and CSV Header are identical, it should map. (It appears this is a false assumption)
