Data mapping configuration sets the data source to a data mapping configuration.
l
%o: Select this to use a dynamic data mapping configuration name. Click on %o to
change the expression that determines the name of the data mapping configuration
to use.

Alternatively, select a configuration name. Adding configurations to this list is done
through the Send to Workflow option in the Designer module.
Click the Open data model of selected configuration button to view the data
model attached to the chosen configuration in the DataMapper module, to verify that
the right one is used.
l
No storing or post-processing of the data records (faster): This option prevents
data from being written to the database. Instead, records are streamed directly into
the Content Creation process for immediate merging. Turning this feature on can
improve data mapping performance significantly, as well as the time required for the
cleanup process. However, since the data is not written to the database, there is no
way to do post-processing on the extracted data. Any post-processors defined in the
data mapping configuration will be disabled.
This option is unchecked by default.
Note
When the data mapping configuration provides multiple records, the preview
is created based on the first record.
Note
The Create Preview PDF plugin cannot parse Workflow automation variables.
Instead it uses the default values set up in the Preprocessor of the data mapping
configuration.
To work around this issue you could either convert the posted data file into JSON,
add the variables and use the JSON string option in the Create Preview PDF
plugin, or you could add the variables to the data file and let the data mapping
configuration extract them.
Another alternative would be to use the "All In One" on page581 task.
