Chameleon enables you to automatically create and map tables using the structure defined from a segment. For instance, let's assume that you imported the PID segment from the Segment Library and wanted to capture the PID data from a message. Instead of manually defining the table, you could use the Import All Fields feature to automatically define the table.

Two things occur as a result of using the Import All Fields feature:

• All data in the message is automatically mapped and is recorded in your database as usual, and
• Any data not in the message will be automatically mapped but will appear as NULL in your database.

The Import All Fields feature is useful for mapping data from segments using its fields and sub-fields to quickly test your message configuration.
