links your ATDW product listings with your Launchpad experiences. This ensures your experience data is consistent across platforms, saving you time and effort in managing your tourism offerings. By linking ATDW entries to Launchpad experiences, you maintain a single source of truth for your experience data.
Accessing this feature
Navigate to the Settings section in Launchpad. Select Integrations from the left-hand menu. Click on ATDW Integration . Within the ATDW Integration dashboard, locate and click the Product Mapping tab. This will display a comprehensive list of your ATDW products and their mapping status.
How to use it
Efficiently map your ATDW products to Launchpad products by following these steps:
Identify Unmapped Products: Upon accessing the Product Mapping interface, the system will display a list of all ATDW products associated with your organisation. Unmapped products will be clearly indicated, often with a 'Not Mapped' status or a distinct visual cue. You can use search and filter options to quickly isolate these products.
Select an ATDW Product for Mapping: Click on the specific ATDW product you wish to map. This action will typically open a mapping pane or dialogue box, presenting details of the ATDW product on one side and an interface to select a Launchpad product on the other.
Search for a Corresponding Launchpad Product: In the Launchpad product selection area, begin typing the name of your existing product in Launchpad that corresponds to the selected ATDW product. The system will provide real-time suggestions based on your input.
Select and Confirm Launchpad Product: From the search results, click on the correct Launchpad product. Carefully review the details to ensure it is the exact match. Once confirmed, click Map or Save Mapping. The system will then establish the connection, and the ATDW product's status will update to 'Mapped'.
Handle New ATDW Product Listings: When new products are published to ATDW, they will appear in your Launchpad Product Mapping interface as 'Unmapped'. Follow steps 2-4 promptly to integrate these new listings into your Launchpad environment and ensure data synchronisation.
Review and Manage Existing Mappings: Regularly review your mapped products to ensure accuracy. The Product Mapping interface allows you to view all mapped connections. If a mapping is incorrect or needs adjustment, select the mapped ATDW product. An option to Unmap or Remap will be available, allowing you to dissociate the products and establish a new, correct link as needed.
Bulk Mapping (If Applicable): For organisations with numerous products, Launchpad may offer a bulk mapping feature. This typically involves selecting multiple unmapped ATDW products and then either auto-suggesting mappings based on name similarity or allowing you to upload a mapping spreadsheet. Consult the interface for specific bulk mapping functionalities, if available, to expedite the process.
Key Capabilities
Direct One-to-One Mapping: Establish a precise link between an individual ATDW product listing and a corresponding Launchpad product.
Synchronised Data Flow: Once mapped, key product data (e.g., descriptions, images, pricing, availability) can be automatically synchronised from ATDW to Launchpad, reducing manual data entry.
Comprehensive Mapping Overview: View a consolidated list of all ATDW products, clearly indicating their current mapping status (Mapped, Unmapped, Error).
Efficient Search and Filtering: Use robust search and filtering tools to quickly locate specific ATDW products by name, status, or other relevant criteria, streamlining the mapping process.
Flexible Mapping Management: Easily modify or remove existing mappings, allowing for adjustments as your product offerings evolve or if first mappings require correction.
Tips
Proactive Mapping: Map new ATDW products to Launchpad promptly upon their first listing or any significant update in ATDW. This ensures your Launchpad data remains current and consistent.
Regular Audits: Conduct periodic reviews of your product mappings to verify accuracy. Inconsistencies can lead to data discrepancies and operational inefficiencies.
Consistent Naming Conventions: Maintain clear and consistent naming for your products across both ATDW and Launchpad. This significantly simplifies the identification and mapping process.
Understand Data Flow: Be aware that the primary data flow is typically from ATDW to Launchpad for mapped fields. Ensure your ATDW listings are accurate and up-to-date, as they will influence your Launchpad product data.
Team Training: Ensure all relevant team members understand the mapping process and its importance. Consistent application of mapping protocols prevents errors and maintains data integrity.
Leverage Filtering: Use the 'Unmapped' filter to quickly identify products requiring attention, ensuring no ATDW listings are overlooked.
