String mapping between source and destination

As an admin I want to be able to do non-exact mapping between string fields when setting up a connector in BCDE Sync to support configurations that are close but have small differences.

Support the options:

  • Exact

    • The source and destination strings must match exactly

    • E.g. "S1 - for co-ordination" = "S1 - for co-ordination"

  • Substring

    • The source and destination strings can match partially.

    • E.g. "Scone Project Inc" matches "Scone Project"

  • Fuzzy matching with a confidence

    • The source and destination strings can match up to a level of confidence.

    • E.g. "Scone Project Inc" matches "Skone Project Ink"

Support the following fields:

  • String

  • Paragraph

  • Description

  • Single select drop down

  • Multi-select drop down

  • ???

Practical use of functionality?

When mapping from ProjectWise into BCDE, a partial match can be used so as not to require absolute precision in config between the source and destination.

What is the impact of not doing this?

Values have to be kept exactly in sync in source and destination.
