How to Manage Mapping Files?
Mapping Files allow users to combine simple filters and transformations to enable complex data wrangling operations to be performed. The processing information is stored in text files that can be uploaded in to the application. Some are created in the application as well, and as we develop the product more and more will be created in the application. For now, uploading new files is the current solution.
