Web Connect Outgoing Mapping

AI Doc Summarizer Doc Summary

Swedish Business Central view name: Web Connect Datamappning utgående

Overview #

Web Connect Outgoing Mapping provides a consolidated, read-only overview of all outbound field mappings configured across Web Connect integrations.

This view is intended for:

  • Reviewing how data is sent to external systems
  • Analyzing and troubleshooting outbound payloads
  • Gaining a full picture of mapping logic across multiple objects

How Outgoing Mapping Is Managed #

Outbound mappings are defined per Web Connect Object and if applicable, its Underlying Web Objects.

The actual configuration is done via:

  1. Web Connect Integrations
  2. Select an integration
  3. Open the relevant Web Object
  4. Configure:
    • Outgoing Mapping
    • Underlying Mapping (for child/related objects)

The Web Connect Outgoing Mapping view aggregates all these mappings into a single list.


Filtering the View #

At the top of the page, you can filter by Object Filter to display mappings for a specific Web Object.

This is useful when analyzing:

  • Which fields are sent for a specific object
  • Conditional logic tied to a single outbound flow

Fields in Web Connect Outgoing Mapping #

Below is a full reference of available fields in the view.

Core Mapping Fields #

FieldDescription
Key NameThe field/key name expected by the external system.
Web ObjectThe Web Connect Object this mapping belongs to.
Entry No.Line number of the mapping entry.
Applies-to-Service TypeDefines which HTTP method (POST, PUT, PATCH, etc.) this mapping applies to. Blank = applies to all.

Conditions #

FieldDescription
ConditionDetermines whether the mapping is included: blank (default), Include if valid, or Exclude if valid.
Condition CodeReference to a condition defined in Web Connect Condition List. Required when using Include/Exclude logic.

Structure & Positioning (XML / EDIFACT) #

FieldDescription
Position No.XML hierarchy position or EDIFACT segment number.
Sub Position No.EDIFACT component number (not used for XML/JSON).
Is AttributeMarks the field as an XML attribute instead of an element.
Data Container FieldMarks a field that should contain all underlying data when used as an envelope object.

Value Source #

FieldDescription
Fixed ValueSends a fixed value instead of data from Business Central.
Dynamic FieldSends a value calculated from a Web Connect Dynamic Flow Field.
Field No.Business Central field number used as the source value.
Field NameBusiness Central field name (read-only reference).
Child Field NameIndicates the value originates from a related or underlying object.

Text Mapping & Formatting #

FieldDescription
MappingReference to Web Connect Text Mapping for value translation.
Clear CharsRemoves special characters using AL DelChr().
Cut out from PositionExtracts substring starting from a position.
Max LengthTruncates output value to a maximum length.
Output FormatDefines outgoing data type (string, integer, decimal, boolean, date, datetime, Unix timestamp, custom).
PrefixAdds an XML prefix if not defined on the object.
Special NamespaceOverrides the XML namespace for this field.
Encode to Base64Encodes Blob field content to Base64 before sending.

Child & Related Object Handling #

FieldDescription
Child Field TypeDefines how data is collected from related objects (single object, list, lookup, sum, count, etc.).
Child ObjectSpecifies the related Web Object to retrieve data from.
Child RelationRelation code defined in Web Connect Table Filter/Relation.
Exclude if BlankExcludes the field entirely if the resolved value is blank.

External Identification & Integration Variables #

FieldDescription
Add External IDStores the value as the external identifier for update operations.
Integration VariableUses a value stored in an integration variable.
Update Integration ValueUpdates the integration variable after sending data.
Set to Web Entry Field No.Writes the value to a specific field on the Web Entry record (used for headers/URLs).

Recommended Configuration Approach #

  • Use this view to:
    • Audit mappings
    • Understand outbound payload structure
    • Trace conditional logic
  • Perform all changes via:

This ensures consistency, version control, and correct handling of underlying objects.
