App Overview

Ever need to carve up a single Custom Data Object (CDO) record into a bunch of individual records? Maybe you want to append a lead record with a territory and channel information and then generation individual notification "child" lead records? Or, maybe you have data in a custom object that is restricted from view and you want to create a copy of CDO records with unrestricted data. With the Custom Object Record Splitter app, you can parse a single CDO record to create one or multiple new "child" records.

App Configuration

Step 1: Add the Cloud Action

Within Program Canvas, find the Custom Object Record Splitter Cloud Action in the Actions menu area. Double-click on or drag the Custome Object Record Splitter Cloud Action onto your canvas workspace.

Double click on the cloud action and click the configure button. You will need to save your Program before moving onto Step 2.

Step 2: Select Target Custom Object

Select the "Target Custom Object" Custom Data Object that should be used to store the resulting "child" records. You will also need to specify the Custom Data Object field that should be used to match newly created records by the app with existing records. Typically, this is a unique ID field or email address field.

Step 3: Add Splitting Rules

Splitting rules specify which fields from the source or "parent" Custom Data Object record should be used when creating a new target or "child" record. Click the Add button to add a new splitting rule and provide a rule name or description. You can have as many splitting rules as you'd like. Each rule will generate a new unique "child" record.

1674

Once you have added a new rule, click on the mapping icon () to specify the fields to be included in the "child" record. At a minimum, you will need to map the field that should be used as the new record unique identifier. This can be either a source Custom Data Object field or a system generated unique identifier. Be sure to click on the "Unique Id" tag under the field which will also make this field required.

1501

Click the +Add Field button to add more fields that should be used from the source/parent record when creating a new target/child record. If a source/parent field must have a value in order to create a new target/record, click on the Required tag under the field. The app will not create a new child record if any required field does not have a value. This prevents accidentally creating children with undesired blank fields. To remove a mapping, click on the trashcan icon ().

Click the icon to the left of the source field dropdown list to use a static text field (indicated by the icon).

Click Save to save your field mapping setting for the rule. If desired, click the Add button to add another splitting rule and repeat the field mapping process above. To remove a rule and its associated field mapping settings, click the minus icon ().

Once you have added your splitting rules, click Save to continue.

Step 4: Specify Import Settings

Set your preference on how new Custom Object records should be connected (mapped) to an existing Eloqua Contact or Account record. Typically, this is the email address for mapping a record to an Eloqua Contact and an Account ID for Account connections.

1682

Optionally, you can change the default update rule that should be used when updating an Eloqua Custom Object record with data. By default, mapped Custom Object fields will always be updated, but you may rather only update when the new value is not blank, if the existing Eloqua Custom Object field value is blank, or update fields based on the fields individual settings.

Your Cloud Action has now been configured and is ready for use. You can close the app configuration window by clicking the X in the upper right corner or you can click Back to modify your settings.

The Cloud Action will automatically enable when you activate the Program.
