Crosswalks
Where a file speaks its own dialect, a crosswalk translates it once rather than per row: the source’s code for something, mapped to the code ClaimPod uses. Crosswalks are the Crosswalks tab of Data Mapping in the sidebar.
Who Can See It
Section titled “Who Can See It”Administrator only, when the client is licensed for crosswalks.
The List
Section titled “The List”| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The crosswalk |
| Kind | Entity, Value or Predefined |
| Description | What it is for |
| Active | Whether imports apply it |
The Entries
Section titled “The Entries”Opening a crosswalk opens its entries in a panel from the right, so closing returns you straight back. In a Value or Predefined crosswalk each entry is one pair: the value as the source writes it, and the value ClaimPod should store. The header counts the pairs. In an Entity crosswalk each entry maps the source’s code to a record, such as a payer or a provider, and the header counts how many codes are still unknown and how many are mapped.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| All / Unknown | Shows every entry, or only the codes not yet mapped |
| Filter box | Narrows the entries to those matching what you type |
| Fallback | The value used when no entry matches. Blank means an unmatched value stays empty |
A source code written as a wildcard shows a “pattern” badge. An entry is refused inline when its source code is blank (“Source code is required”), repeats another (“Duplicate source code”), or its list of values has a blank in it (“Remove blank values from the list”). A refused fallback reads “Couldn’t save the fallback”.
Every change to an entry is recorded in the Audit Log, one row per entry that changed, so an entry you did not touch keeps its history.
If someone else changed the crosswalk while you were editing its entries or its fallback, your change is refused with a notice above the entries, and Reload brings in their version and drops yours (A Save Was Refused). Edit is refused the same way, with the notice above its form.
Actions
Section titled “Actions”| Action | What it does | When it is offered |
|---|---|---|
| Create | Adds a crosswalk | Always |
| Open | Opens its entries | From the row menu, or by selecting the row |
| Edit | Renames it or changes its description | From the row menu |
| Delete | Removes it | From the row menu |
States
Section titled “States”- Empty - a client with no crosswalks says so and offers Create.
- Blocked - without the crosswalks module Data Mapping has no Crosswalks tab, and a saved link to a crosswalk says “Data Mapping Isn’t Part of Your Plan”.
