Mappers

This menu [Settings > Configuration > Mapping > Mappers] can be used to create a custom Mapper for use in creating Fields.

The Mapper matches the data/value in the Value field with the name in the Name field using the All or First method. The effect of the mapping is only in the GUI. The Mapper does not create a new field but overwrites existing ones.

The Mappers created in the system are listed in a table with the following columns:

Privacy - privacy status icon
Created By - name of the user who created the Mapper
Creation Time - creation time
Modified By - name of the user who last modified the lookup
Modification Time - last modification time
Shared - name of the user who shared the object
Used in - objects in the System where the mapper was used
