4. Data Analysis and Mapping Rules

4.1 AI-Powered Column Mapping

  • Automatic Analysis: AI analyzes uploaded files and suggests column mappings
  • Confidence Levels: Each mapping assigned High, Medium, or Low confidence
  • Manual Override: Users can manually adjust AI suggestions through dropdown selection

4.2 Confidence Level Criteria for Assets

Confidence Level

Criteria

Example

High

 ✅

- Exact name match<br>- Exact data type match<br>- Strong pattern similarity

"Asset_ID" → "Asset ID"

Medium

 ⚠️

- Partial name match<br>- Compatible data types<br>- Minor variations

"Asset_Name" → "Asset Name/Description"

Low

 ❌

- No name similarity<br>- Incompatible data types<br>- Unrecognized content

"Notes" → "Installation Cost"

4.3 Mandatory Field Mapping

  • Required fields must be mapped before migration can proceed
  • System enforces proper field type mapping (e.g., dates to date fields, numbers to numeric fields)
  • Sample data displayed for each mapping to verify accuracy

5. Primary Key Management for Assets

5.1 Required Primary Keys by Dataset

Dataset Type

Primary Key Required

Auto-Generation Rules

Assets

Asset ID

ASSET + sequential number

Facilities

Facility ID

FAC + sequential number

Systems

System ID

SYS + sequential number

Networks

Network ID

NET + sequential number

Asset Classifications

Classification ID

CLASS + sequential number

System Types

SYSTYPE + sequential number

5.2 Primary Key Handling Scenarios

Scenario 1: ONB Has Predefined Prefix & Starting Number

  • Action: Auto-fill missing primary keys using predefined settings
  • Format: [Prefix][Starting Number + Increment]
  • Example: ASSET1001, ASSET1002, ASSET1003...
  • User Options: Confirm auto-filled keys or re-upload with custom keys

Scenario 2: ONB Missing Prefix & Starting Number

  • Action: Prompt user for prefix and starting number
  • Requirements:
    • Prefix: 2-10 alphanumeric characters
    • Starting Number: Positive integer
  • Preview: Display generated keys before finalization
  • Validation: Ensure no duplicate keys generated

6. Asset Data Validation Rules

6.1 Validation Categories

  • Valid Records: Records passing all validation checks
  • Warnings: Records with minor issues that don't prevent migration
  • Errors: Records with critical issues requiring resolution

6.2 Asset-Specific Validation Rules

Financial Data Validation

  • Installation Cost: Must be positive decimal with max 2 decimal places
  • Replacement Cost: Must be ≥ Installation Cost (warning if lower)
  • Current Value: Must be ≤ Replacement Cost (warning if higher)
  • Depreciation: Calculate and validate against Current Value

Date Validation

  • Installation Year: Must be between 1900 and current year + 5
  • Commissioned Date: Must be valid date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  • Future Dates: Warning for dates more than 1 year in future

Reference Data Validation

  • Facility ID Reference: Must exist in uploaded or existing Facilities data
  • System/Network ID Reference: Must exist in uploaded or existing Systems/Networks data
  • Asset Class/Type: Must exist in Asset Classifications data

Technical Validation

  • Useful Life: Must be realistic (1-100 years) for asset type
  • Serial Numbers: Check for duplicates within same manufacturer
  • Status Combinations: Validate status against operational dates

6.3 Cross-Reference Validation

  • Asset-Facility Mapping: Verify asset belongs to correct facility
  • System-Facility Mapping: Ensure systems are assigned to correct facilities
  • Capacity Validation: Warn if total asset capacity exceeds facility capacity

7. Error Handling and Correction

12. Enhanced Data Mapping & Update Rules

12.1 Data Upload Enhancement

  • Users can now choose between:
    • Upload New Data – traditional full-data migration
    • Update Existing Data – partial field-level updates on existing records
  • Unique Identifier Requirement:
    • Updates require a valid system identifier (e.g., Asset ID, Facility ID, System ID)
    • If not provided, the row is skipped and flagged in logs
  • Field Selection Rules:
    • Users can select specific fields to update (from a system-curated list of updatable fields)
    • Only selected fields are included in the downloadable CSV template
    • System enforces update validity (e.g., correct data type, allowed values)
  • CSV Template Controls:
    • Data update templates are mandatory to download before upload
    • Upload is disabled until the downloaded template is used (template check enforced)
    • File format: CSV only

12.2 System Data Mapping (Conditional Screen)

  • If mandatory system-related fields are not mapped during field mapping, users are shown a System Data Mapping screen, similar to plan mapping for consumers

Trigger Conditions:

  • System detects unmapped critical system fields, such as:
    • Assets: Asset Class, Asset Type, System/Network
    • Systems: System Type, Facility
    • Networks: Network Type, Facility
    • Facilities: Facility Type

Key Features:

  • Tab-based UI: Each unmapped required field is shown as a tab
  • Record List: Shows only records missing the corresponding system field
  • Search & Filter:
    • Search across all columns
    • Multiselect filters per field
  • Selection Options:
    • Users can select rows individually, in bulk, or "Select All"
  • Bulk Assignment:
    • Assign system data (e.g., a System Type or Asset Class) to all selected rows
  • Inline Tagging:
    • Once assigned, values are visibly tagged to the respective rows
  • Progress Tracker:
    • Shows % of system field mappings completed
  • User can only proceed to the next step after all required mappings are completed

12.3 Migration History & Rollback Enhancements

  • History Logging:
    • Every upload or update (new or partial) is logged with metadata:
      • Timestamp, record count, user, method (new/upload)
      • Modified fields (for update)
  • Rollback Capability:
    • Admins can rollback a data update/upload within 3 days
    • Rollback will:
      • Restore old values for updated records
      • Delete new records in case of upload
      • Remove all associated transaction logs tied to affected records
