Mapping Text Areas Automatically

You can map text areas to copy elements automatically. You can opt to match only fully matching text areas or match partially matching text areas.

Before you begin: Ensure the following.
  • A POA and its artwork assembly must be loaded and associated to an artwork file.
  • Text areas must be present in the document.
  1. In the Artwork Assembly panel, click Automap.
    The Automap panel appears.
  2. Select the Map only fully mapping text areas option to map only the text areas that match fully with any copy element in the POA.
  3. Select the Map fully matching and partially matching text areas option to map the text areas that map partially with any copy element in the POA
    When this option is selected, a text area is mapped to multiple copy elements if the overall content of the text area fully or partially matches with multiple copy elements combined.
  4. Select the Automap only selected text areas check box to consider only the selected text areas for mapping automatically with any copy element in the POA.
  5. Click OK.

  • If the full map option is selected and if a text area matches a copy element fully, the text area is mapped to the copy element.
  • If the partial map option is selected and if a text area matches a copy element partially, the text area is mapped to the copy element.
  • If the partial map option is selected and if different fragments of the content of a text area match with the content of different copy elements, the text area is mapped to the matching copy elements as a multimapped text area. The copy elements are listed based on the position of the fragment that they match. If a copy element matches with a fragment that is present at the beginning of the text area content, the copy element is listed first. Each fragment of the text area content that does not match with any copy element is converted to a marker.
  • If a text area matches multiple copy elements fully, the text area is not mapped to any copy element.
  • A blue border appears around that text areas that are mapped to fully matching copy elements.
  • A red border appears around that text areas that are mapped to partially matching copy elements.
  • After the mapping is complete, a report appears. It contains multiple tabs that list the text areas based on the type of mapping.
