Using the Data Mapper.

If your existing spreadsheets use different column names than EU Digital Passport Processor's CSV template, the data mapper lets you create a mapping profile that translates your columns to EU Digital Passport Processor fields — so you can import without reformatting.

What the data mapper does

The data mapper sits between your CSV file and the import engine. It takes your column headers (e.g., "Battery Model Name", "Manufacturing Country", "CO2 Footprint") and maps them to EU Digital Passport Processor's expected fields (e.g., "product_name", "manufacturing_place", "carbon_footprint_kgco2e").

Once you create a mapping profile, you can reuse it for every import — no need to rename columns in your spreadsheet each time.

Creating a mapping profile

1. Go to Import → Data MapperClick Import in the sidebar, then select the Data Mapper tab.

1. Upload a sample fileUpload a CSV with your column headers. EU Digital Passport Processor reads the headers but does not import any data at this step.

1. Map each columnFor each column in your file, select the corresponding EU Digital Passport Processor field from the dropdown. Mapping is fully explicit — EU Digital Passport Processor never guesses or pre-fills which DPP field a column maps to. You decide every mapping, so what you import is exactly what you intended.

1. Configure value mappings (optional)If your data uses different values than EU Digital Passport Processor expects (e.g., "Electric Vehicle" instead of "EV"), you can add value mappings for specific fields. The mapper will convert values automatically during import.

1. Save the profileGive your mapping profile a name (e.g., "ERP Export Format" or "Factory A Template") and save it.

Applying a mapping profile on import

When you upload a CSV on the Import page, EU Digital Passport Processor checks if any saved mapping profiles match the file's column headers. If a match is found, it is applied automatically. You can also select a profile manually from the dropdown before importing.

Editing and deleting profiles

Mapping profiles are managed in Import → Data Mapper. You can edit a profile to add new column mappings, update value translations, or rename it. Deleting a profile does not affect previously imported passports.
