This mapping step is a requirement to ingest delimited files ONLY. Parquet and JSON formatted files can be dragged and dropped into the appropriate dataset since they are key value pairs and do not need to be explicitly mapped.
Adobe Experience Platform's AI will correctly map most of the source fields to the best matched XDM schema field.
Fix the ones that are not mapped as desired.

Add a Calculated Field We will add a new field in the field mapping workflow using data prep functions. Data engineers can use calculated fields to perform in-row calculations that can be assigned to XDM attributes.
- Click New Field Type -> Add Calculated Field
- Copy & paste the following expression below: iif(creditScore < ("600"),"poor",iif(creditScore < ("700"),"good","excellent"))
- Click Preview to make sure syntax is accepted and then click Save

Map the calculated source field to the Credit Classification field in your schema
lick Finish. This will start the data ingestion flow

Navigate to Datasets
Search and select your newly created dataset. Notice a batch is created as a result of the ingestion workflow that was triggered
Once the status for the batch says "Success", click on the Preview Dataset button on the top right of your screen. This allows for validation of source columns to XDM schemas with the corresponding values.
