What is a mapping template?
A mapping template is a saved set of rules that defines how your source fields map to SKULaunch attributes (or how SKULaunch attributes map to a target system during export).
Templates are especially useful when:
You receive the same supplier sheet format regularly
You import/export by taxonomy node repeatedly (for example Dog Food, Cat Food)
You run scheduled exports to a PIM and want consistent mapping each time
When you can save a template
You can save a template from the mapping screen during:
File Import mappings
File Export mappings
PIM Import mappings (connector based)
PIM Export mappings (connector based)
If your mapping is tied to a specific taxonomy node, saving it means you can quickly reuse it for the same category in future.
Save a mapping template from the mapping screen
Start an import or export (file or PIM connector).
Complete your field mapping as normal.
Choose Save template on the mapping screen.
Give the template a clear name (for example: “Dog Food Import Mapping”).
Save.
Your template will now appear in Imports → Mapping Templates.
Load a saved template to avoid remapping
Start a new import or export.
On the mapping screen, choose Load template.
Select the template you want to use.
Review the mapping (especially if your source file has changed).
Continue the import/export.
If SKULaunch cannot find a matching source field for part of the template (for example, a column header changed), those fields will need to be remapped before you can proceed.
Manage mapping templates
Go to Imports → Mapping Templates to view and manage saved templates.
From here you can:
Search for templates using the search bar
Filter and adjust visible columns (via Columns)
Edit a template (Actions menu)
Delete a template (Actions menu)
Use bulk actions to delete multiple templates at once
Templates are labelled by their source type (for example import vs export) to make it easy to find the right one.
