Mapping behaviour using item validity

Overview

Fusion Registry's Structure Mapping function allows datasets to be transformed from one structure and classification scheme to another. Mapping of classifications is performed using Codelist Maps which define how Codes in one Codelist map to those in another.

When defining Codelist Maps, multiple mapping rules can be specified for each Code with a Validity Period for each. The Validity Period sets the period in real time when the rule will be active. Mapping rules with Validity Periods are executed if the time at which the mapping is performed falls within the time range specified. Conversely, rules without Validity Periods are always active and are executed irrespective of when the mapping is actually performed.
