Configuration Studio

A New Automated Smart Mapping Feature for Configuration Studio

Conexiom is introducing a new feature to enhance efficiency in mapping new documents within Configuration Studio: Document Layout Service.

For example, when configuring a Purchase Order for a new trading partner, you can use the Document Layout Service to find an existing document template on which to build the new configuration, potentially completing much of the work by making one menu selection.

Using Document Layout Service

When onboarding a new trading partner with Conexiom Premier through Configuration Studio, the Document Layout Service can be used by simply selecting the feature from a menu.

Note: that no company information is shared in any map—only formatting information such as the physical field location, definition, and size is shared.

After searching, the Document Layout Service produces a list of layout candidates, based on likeness to the new sample document. From that list, you can select which layout to apply as the template for the new configuration.

Immediately the selection displays as the template beneath the image of the new configuration, including the fields and their definitions, to the extent that it could match them. At that point, the configuration process may already see a significant amount of work accomplished, though further development may be required.

When a map is found, it’s important to note that it is well developed, likely having been through a number of development iterations with the Conexiom Connection Development Team.

It’s also important to note that, as efficient as this new feature is, you are not required to use the Document Layout Service; its use is entirely optional. The current tools are still in place for manual customization, whether starting from scratch or making final modification on a nearly perfect layout.

Ability to Hide the Address Drop-Down Menu

You can now hide the Address drop-down menu in both Ship-To and Bill-To through a setting in metadata. For example, currently the menu pulls data from the Addresses table. However, if you are looking up addresses in your ERP or in a different global cross-reference table, for convenience, you may want to disable the addresses drop-down menu.

Open Cross Reference Tables on a New Tab by Clicking a Link

For ease and convenience, you can now open cross-reference tables in a new tab by simply clicking the Edit XREF link at the top of a page.

Asynchronous Export of High-Volume Cross Reference Data

When exporting data from a cross-reference table and the row count is greater than fifty thousand, Conexiom will handle the export with an asynchronous process.

When you select Download All Data, a dialog box displays to inform you that the process has begun, that it may take up to 30 minutes to complete, and that an email will be sent when the data file becomes ready.

Previously customers exporting reference table were limited to downloads of less than fifty thousand rows.

There is no change to the data exporting process for downloads fewer than fifty-thousand rows: when you select either Download Filtered Data or Download All Data, and the row count is less than fifty thousand, Conexiom handles the export in a synchronous process.

When downloading data from the cross-reference table and the row count is over fifty thousand, the selection Download Filtered Data is not available.
