Field Mapping

Field mapping is the process of connecting or aligning data fields from one system to corresponding fields in another system. For example, when transferring customer information from a spreadsheet to a database, field mapping ensures that each piece of data, like name, address, or phone number, goes into the correct place. It helps ensure data consistency and accuracy during integration or migration by specifying how data from the source matches up with the target system’s structure. Essentially, it’s a blueprint that guides how data flows and is organized between different platforms.
