Article summary

Category Mapping

The Category Mapping configuration page can be used for the category mapping to be defined. To pre-configure the mappings before the operational activities are performed, the Add New configuration functionality can be used.

If a mapping configuration is already available for the selected Source and Destination category, then the values are auto-populated on the Destination category based on the mapping and the checkbox displays a green tick indicating that this configuration exists and is saved in the Category Mapping page.
