Customizing Mappings
If required, you can customize mappings by adding additional mappings or updating the information sources.
Additional Properties
An additional Create Transaction property is available for custom mappings.
Overriding Properties
You can override managed mappings or add mappings for additional supported properties.
You can add a custom mapping that contains a unique target field, or for child relationship mappings, a unique target field and target child type. If a managed mapping exists with the same information, the custom mapping overrides it.
If an overridden managed mapping contains child mappings, these are rendered obsolete. If the overriding custom mapping is subsequently removed, the managed mapping and its children are automatically reinstated.
Overridden mappings are displayed in the mappings table with the following information appended to the target:
- (Overridden) indicates that the managed mapping has been overridden by a custom mapping.
- (Parent Overridden) indicates that a parent of the mapping has been overridden by a custom mapping.
