Mapping Index > Derivative mappings
The derivative_mappings parameter in our application is used to map different derivatives, which will be exported to the mapped Akeneo attributes.
The derivative_mappings parameter facilitates the mapping of different derivatives to specific Akeneo attributes. Derivatives represent variations or versions of assets, and mapping them to Akeneo attributes ensures that the correct derivatives are exported and associated with the corresponding attributes in Akeneo.
Users can define mappings within the derivative_mappings parameter to specify which derivatives should be exported to the mapped Akeneo attributes. This mapping ensures that the correct derivatives are associated with the corresponding attributes in Akeneo, facilitating accurate asset management and representation.
In the example below, the derivative_mappings parameter maps the ecommerce derivative for assets with asset type product_image to the product_image_ecommerce_url attribute in Akeneo.
derivative_mappings:
"urls":
"product_image":
"ecommerce": "product_image_ecommerce_url"
