Add Data Mapping to Custom Registration Fields and Polls

Streamline consistent answers into your analytics reports by creating Data Mapping, which is setting output responses from input responses that are similar, yet different.

 

We’ve added Data Mapping to our platform where now you can have input data points changed to consistent output data points for Custom Registration Fields, Polls, and GDPR Fields (to learn more about GDPR Fields, click here). For example, you can set any answer (input), such as United States or US, to reflect in the analytics (output) as the USA. 

Admins have the ability to set multiple fields which display through Custom Registration fields or Polls. This feature is great for receiving consistent answers to questions where responses were similar, yet different. Overall,  It’s useful in streamlining similar answers into one in the analytics.
