IMPORTANT
All cloud storage destinations in the catalog can view an improved Mapping step which replaces the Select attributes step described in this article.
This Select attributes step is still displayed for the Adobe Campaign, Oracle Responsys, Oracle Eloqua, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud email marketing destinations.

For profile-based destinations, you must select the profile attributes that you want to send to the target destination.

  1. In the Select attributes page, select Add new field.

  2. Select the arrow to the right of the Schema field entry.

  3. In the Select field page, select the XDM attributes or identity namespaces that you want to send to the destination, then choose Select.

  4. To add more mappings, repeat steps one to three.

NOTE
Adobe Experience Platform prefills your selection with four recommended, commonly used attributes from your schema: person.name.firstName, person.name.lastName, personalEmail.address, segmentMembership.seg_namespace.seg_id.status.

IMPORTANT
Due to a known limitation, you cannot currently use the Select field window to add segmentMembership.seg_namespace.seg_id.status to your file exports. Instead, you must manually paste the value xdm: segmentMembership.seg_namespace.seg_id.status into the schema field, as shown below.

File exports vary in the following ways, depending on whether segmentMembership.seg_namespace.seg_id.status is selected:

  • If the segmentMembership.seg_namespace.seg_id.status field is selected, exported files include Active members in the initial full snapshot and Active and Expired members in subsequent incremental exports.
  • If the segmentMembership.seg_namespace.seg_id.status field is not selected, exported files include only Active members in the initial full snapshot and in subsequent incremental exports.
