Create custom field mapping symbols
Blue has a number of Default piping/field mapping symbols, but an administrator can define a custom field mapping symbol for any field in any datasource. Field mapping symbols can also be joined together along with HTML for formatting.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT FIELD MAPPING SYMBOLS
- Field mapping symbols need to be enclosed in square brackets ([]).
- An S, C or R and G can precede the dollar sign to indicate the value should come from the subject, secondary subject, rater, or group respectively.
- A G can only be used in Group by reports.
- The plus () symbol is used to designate a field mapping symbol that's part of a Relationship datasource.
- Relationship datasource field mapping symbols must be prefixed with a C or R and the plus () symbol.
- If there is an error or if there is no data available, the symbol will be ignored.
- Each mapping symbol begins with a dollar sign ($).
- Mapping symbols must be composed of all uppercase letters and numbers.
- Mapping symbols are not supported in Rollover reports.
Add a new field mapping symbol
Field mapping symbols are entered into Blue as shown:
\[S$NAME\]
