Map Units

A Map units is used to process data collections in sub-pipelines and then provide the results back to the main pipeline for further processing. Each element in a collection is processed in its own pipeline. To use a Map unit, the pipeline must have a Connector containing at least one collection, as in the following example.  
Request unit containing a collection (array of several elements)
When the data flow enters the Map unit, the flow iterates through each element in the collection and is processed in a sub-pipeline. For example, if the collection has two elements, then the map unit does a single call; if the collection has three elements, then the map unit does three calls; and so on. You can add additional Connectors to the sub-pipeline, as required. 
The results of each execution are then merged into a single output and provided to the main pipeline through the Results unit of the sub-pipeline. 
Steps
1.In the Pipeline dashboard, click Add Unit, then select Map unit to add it to the pipeline.
2.Connect a Connector containing a collection to the Map unit. 
3.Click the Map unit to open the Mapping editor.
4.From the item property, click Set formula.
5.In the Formula editor, create a formula. 
6. If required, you can drag attributes from the Connector to the parameters field. 
7.Click Inspect Sub Pipeline to view the sub-pipeline. You can add Connectors, map attributes to parameters and so on. 
8.Click Done to save changes.
