Data Mapping

Default Fields

This section contains information on the default fields for Genesys Cloud inbound jobs.

• Natural Id: A unique identifier of a document. It is highly recommended to have a unique ID for each document to process duplicates correctly. For Natural ID, you can select any text or numeric field from your data. Alternatively, you can automatically generate IDs by adding a custom field.
• Document Date: The primary date field associated with a document. This date is used in XM Discover reports, trends, alerts, and so on. You can choose one of the following options:
  • conversationStart (default): The date and time the chat activity started.
  • conversationEnd: The date and time the chat activity ended.
  • If source data contains other date fields, you can choose one of them.
  • You can also set a specific document date.
• feedback_provider: Identifies data obtained from a specific provider. For Genesys Cloud documents, this attribute’s value is set to “Genesys” and cannot be changed.
• source: Identifies data obtained from a specific source. This can be anything that describes the origin of data, such as the name of a survey or a mobile marketing campaign. By default, this attribute’s value is set to “Genesys.” Use custom transformations to set a custom value, define an expression, or map it to another field.
• feedback_type: Identifies data based on its type. This is useful for reporting when your project contains different types of data (for example, surveys and social media feedback). By default, this attribute’s value is set “Messaging Platform”. Use custom transformations to set a custom value, define an expression, or map it to another field.
• job_name: Identifies data based on the name of the job used to upload it. You can modify this attribute’s value during the setup via the Job Name field that is displayed at the top of each page during the setup.
