Data mappings
Data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between multiple different data models.
With Apteco connect, Data mappings can follow one of two distinct paths, either a Customer Data Table or a User Defined Table path.
Customer Data Tables
Customer Data Tables (CDT) map to already known data structures. This means that when using a CDT, you don't have to define your data.
CDTs are synonymous with Customer Data Platforms (CDP), as you can use a CDP to bring in an already established structure for your data.
User Defined Tables
User Defined Tables (UDT) are wholly defined by a user. This means that you fully define your data structure with Orbit connect as you are bringing in your data.
Note: If you're not using Apteco CDP, then only the User Defined Table option will be available to you within Data Mappings.
