Field Mapping Configurations
Field Mapping Configurations refer to the process of mapping fields between various applications or systems in order to ensure consistency and data accuracy.
This configuration ensures accurate data transfer between the systems despite differences in field names, formats, or structures.
The following gif highlights the benefits of Field Mapping Configurations:.gif?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-09-19T21%3A52%3A09Z&se=2024-09-19T22%3A02%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=r8PEav2NSuk12a3u3R8LDQR5jC6D3tfeppoCvnRvA%2Bg%3D)
Service Automation requires information from Summit (product) which can be obtained by configuring the API base URL. Then configure the list of APIs that fetch the data required from Summit. Since Service Automation support is available for Incident management, service request and work order modules, we will map the APIs to the corresponding fields. This page is a guide to configure fields of a module to a particular data source and align it to the API.

To configure field mapping, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to Admin > Advanced > Automation > Orchestration.
