How does Category Mapping work

Setting up mapping on a category forces any track containing the same word used in Keywords/Tempo/Genre/Instrumentation to map to the category name.

Once Category Mapping is enabled on your account, it will apply to all future ingestions and imports.

Track/category associations are:

• Automatically created when new tracks are ingested or received from original publishers.
• Automatically adjusted when track metadata is changed
• Automatically adjusted when category trees structure is changed

In turn, this means you are not able to manually update a Track's category in Admin. It can only be updated via Advanced Import.

Steps

1. Set up your category tree and select which fields to be included in mapping

2. Add Keywords for each of the Child categories

3. Review Keyword Groups

Setting up your Categories

How it works:

Any word in the Keywords, Genre, Instrumentation and Tempo fields that match words set up on the category tree will automatically create an entry for that Category.

An Example:

Mood is created as the Parent Category and Keywords are selected to map.  .

Anxious is created as the child category (Mood > Anxious)

Keywords are entered for Anxious.

When mapping this track Nervous is listed in the Keywords. As Nervous is a keyword for the Child Category Anxious it is automatically assigned to Mood > Anxious.

Keyword Groups are also used in this process improve the matches and reduce the required category tree keywords needed. See How to Manage Keyword Groups.
