Data Types
Each piece of data in PlanetPress Connect, once it has been extracted from the Source
Record, will always be handled using Data Types. Data types determine how the data is
handled when reading and writing values in properties and extracted record fields, as well as
when comparing values. For example, if a Date field is compared with a Date source record
property, the comparison will be done on dates (latest date being a "higher" value).
Here are the data types available in all modules of PlanetPress Connect.
l Boolean
l String
l HTMLString
l Integer
l Float
l Currency
l Date
l Object
Note
The Object data type is only available in the DataMapper module. It is created in the Properties
section of the Preprocessor step, and can be used throughout the data mapping configuration.
Boolean Data Type
Booleans are a simple True/False data type often used in conditions and comparisons.
