Removing Channel Cards

1. To remove a channel card from the mapper, click the 'Remove' button for any channel card

Mapping Attributes

1. To map attributes to a channel, click the 'Add Attribute' button in the channel card
   
2. This will add an empty 'attribute' field to the bottom of the channel card
   
3. Use the left column to select which Quipt attributes you want to remap using the channel card
   
4. To do so: 
   • Highlight the 'value' field for for the channel attribute you're mapping
     
   • Click the attribute you want to add the output code for (e.g. 'Brand')
     
   • Adds the output code for the attribute to the 'Input' field of the highlighted section

Export Testing

1. Any time you map new channel cards, or edit the mappings for existing ones, it's super important to test whether your code works before saving it
2. To do so, we have a handy 'Export Sample' button for every channel card
   
3. Clicking this will export your code into a sample download file. Just knowing that it exports is most important, as it confirms there're no code-breaking elements that would prevent Quipt from exporting content for that category to the channel you're mapping for.
