EarthSoft Office Hour video on remapping incoming and existing data.
EQuIS users occasionally receive EDDs with reference values named differently from those in the EQuIS database. For example, an EDD may define a groundwater matrix as GW, while the equivalent EQuIS database reference value is WG. The EQuIS Remap option allows users to map such reference value variations to the desired appropriate reference values in the EQuIS database. Using the Remap option, the user can define a set of replacement reference values and replace all variants at once.
