Content for products can be autogenerated based on ECLASS Advanced templates using the 'STEP Path to IRDI Path Autogeneration' mapping plugin in the Web UI. Like with other mapping plugins, mappings for a particular configuration are listed together in a table that displays the Source, Transformation, and Target of the mapping.
It is recommended to create a new Onboarding Mapping Details screen to ensure that only the mapping plugins that support autogeneration display. Also, consider configuring a new Global Navigation component for this purpose as it will make it easier to find the autogeneration configurations in the system. For more information, refer to the Configuring Data Onboarding Solution topic.
