# Content Mapping Reference

This guide outlines the transformation logic used to **ingest SAP SuccessFactors content into** Thrive.

| SAP | Thrive |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Source Field** | **Source Type** | **Target Field** | **Target Type** | **Transformation Rule** | **Nullable** | **Notes** |
| CONTENT_ID | String | externalReference | String | Derived (composite key: contentId + contentTypeId + revisionAt) | N | Not stored as a standalone field. Used together with CONTENT_TYPE_ID and CONTENT_REVISION_AT to construct externalReference in the format {contentId}_{contentTypeId}_{revisionEpochMs}. This value is persisted and also included in the Thrive description for traceability. |
| CONTENT_TYPE_ID | String |  | String | Used in derivation of externalReference | N | Not stored as a standalone field. Used only as part of the composite externalReference key together with CONTENT_ID and CONTENT_REVISION_AT. Thrive does not persist SAP content type separately as all SAP content is stored as URL content. |
| CONTENT_TITLE | String | title | String | Direct copy | N | SAP content title is stored as the Thrive content title. |
| CONTENT_DESCRIPTION | String | description | String | Derived (contentId + description + target audience) | Y | Thrive description is derived by concatenating CONENT_ID, then SAP CONTENT_DESCRIPTION, then SAP CONTENT_TARGET_AUDIENCE (in that order). Either SAP field may be missing; the description may contain only the external reference if no other values are provided. |
| CONTENT_REVISION_AT | String (date-time) 2019-03-13T16:15:24Z | externalReference |  | Used in derivation of externalReference (converted to epoch ms) | N | Not stored as a standalone field. Converted to epoch milliseconds and used as part of the composite externalReference together with CONTENT_ID and CONTENT_TYPE_ID. The resulting externalReference is also included in the Thrive description for traceability. |
| CONTENT_IS_ACTIVE | Boolean |  |  | Not stored – Thrive derives internally |  | We don’t store this value. It is used to decide whether we should create the content item. |
| CONTENT_THUMBNAIL_URL | String | thumbnail | String | Direct copy | Y | Stored as the Thrive thumbnail URL if provided by SAP. |
| CONTENT_DOMAIN_ID | String | tags | Array(String) | Direct copy (mapped to tags array) | Y | SAP domain ID is stored as a tag in Thrive |
| CONTENT_TARGET_AUDIENCE | String | description | String | Derived (append to description) | Y | Appended to the Thrive description after SAP CONTENT_DESCRIPTION. This value is not stored in a separate field as Thrive has no dedicated “target audience” attribute. |
