Map Fields

The Map Fields frame allows you to map HTML fields to database fields. For more information, see Mapping HTML Fields to a Database in How to Use Workshop.

This frame contains the following elements:

Submit

Submits the changes you made to the WebSpeed Field name or Field Source.

 

Reset

Resets all fields to the values when the frame was displayed, or since the last Submit.

 

Maps HTML fields (not already mapped or made user-defined) to corresponding fields in the connected databases, and updates the display accordingly. Starting with the HTML field name, Automap searches the databases in the order displayed in the Database View, and maps the first match it finds. If you specified a table for the field, WebSpeed searches the database for the table, then for the field within the table.
