Status: Shipping June 2026
Fusion is currently in development and scheduled for release in June 2026. The information in this article reflects the planned design. Features and interface details may change before launch.
What Is Fusion?
Fusion is the visual data transformation and mapping engine inside FileTrac Evolve. It provides a configurable, field-level mapping layer between external claims systems — such as XactAnalysis — and FileTrac, acting as the "data bridge" that powers interoperability across your claims ecosystem.
Rather than relying on fixed, hard-coded integrations, Fusion gives administrators a visual editor to define exactly how data flows in and out of FileTrac — which fields map to which, how values translate, and what rules govern the transformation.
Why Fusion Matters
Insurance claims operations depend on data flowing between multiple platforms. A single claim may touch XactAnalysis, an estimating tool, an accounting system, and FileTrac itself. Without a flexible mapping layer, every integration requires custom development and any change to a partner system's data structure can break the connection.
Fusion solves this by placing a visual, rule-based transformation layer between systems. Administrators can create, review, and modify field mappings without writing code, and pre-built default templates provide a baseline for common integrations.
Core Concepts
Transformations
A transformation is a single rule that describes how a value in a source field becomes a value in a destination field. Transformations can be simple one-to-one copies, value lookups, or multi-step chains that process data through several stages before writing it to the target system.
Fusion supports both nested and non-nested transformations. Nested transformations allow multi-level data processing chains — for example, translating a code, then reformatting the result, then validating the output before it reaches FileTrac.
Mappings
A mapping is a complete set of transformations that connects one system to another. For example, the XactAnalysis to FileTrac Legacy default mapping contains all the field-level rules needed to bring XA claim data into FileTrac.
Mappings can be based on immutable default templates that serve as protected baselines, ensuring that a known-good configuration is always available even after customization.
Lookups
Lookups are translation tables that convert values from one system's vocabulary to another. For instance, a status code of "A" in XactAnalysis might need to become "Active" in FileTrac. Lookups handle this conversion and support multi-value scenarios where a single source field may produce multiple destination values.
Fusion treats lookups as first-class citizens with their own dedicated editing views, comment and annotation support, and a "Select First From List" pattern for prioritized value selection when multiple matches exist.
Validation and Type Checking
Fusion automatically compares data types between source and destination fields during mapping. If a source field is numeric but the destination expects text (or vice versa), Fusion flags the mismatch so you can add an appropriate transformation rule before data flows.
Fusion Components at a Glance
Component | Purpose |
Transformation Editor | Visual editor for creating and managing field-level transformations. Card-based UI with side panels for detail editing. |
Lookup System | Dedicated interface for building and managing value translation tables, including multi-value and Select-First-From-List patterns. |
Default Mappings | Pre-configured, immutable baseline templates for common integrations such as XactAnalysis to FileTrac Legacy. |
Wizard | Guided, step-by-step setup flow for creating new transformation configurations from scratch. |
Who Uses Fusion?
Fusion is designed for FileTrac administrators and integration specialists who manage data flow between FileTrac and external claims platforms. Day-to-day adjusters and field staff do not interact with Fusion directly — they benefit from the clean, consistent data that Fusion delivers behind the scenes.
