The repeat map function allows you to copy the mapping from one element to another. It is often used when a segment contains multiple copies of the same element or collection of elements, and each occurrence of a given element has multiple fields to which it might map. You would conditionally map the first of the multiple elements to its various locations, and then mark the other instances of the same element as a repeat of the first. The Repeat Map function is often used with a Conditional Variable and the Condition option.
Automatically repeating the mapping of an element
Right-click the element to which mapping will be copied, and choose Repeat from the drop-down list.
The Repeat Map window displays.
Enter the number of the element (and sub-element number and repeat element number if applicable) whose mapping will be copied.
Select OK.
The mapping will be copied, and you return to the Mapping window.
You cannot currently use the repeat map function on
the first element in a segment because there is no “Prior
Element” whose mapping will be copied.
