Field Mapping Options

This panel is broken down in to the following:

Map Selection: This is a drop down from where existing maps can be selected. A map is a specification of how to map source to destination fields.

Add Category: This button is used to add a skill category so that skills associated with the source entity can be easily mapped to existing skills in the database.

Delete Category: This button deletes the skill category added using the Add Category button.

Field Mapping Property Grid: This property grid shows all database fields on the left and the mapped source field to the right. The fields are broken down into 3 categories:

•      Mandatory – these fields must be associated with source fields or the import will not work. Mandatory fields are the contact name.

•      Optional – these fields are the other non-skill fields which can be mapped but are not essential.

•      New Skill Categories – these are lookup skills which are created during import to capture skills from the data source.

In order to map a field, choose the ellipses button to the right of the field:

this will open up the Select Source Fields form described below.

Save Map: This button saves all field mappings and prompts the user for a name.

Reset Map: This clears all mappings to allow the user to start again.

Delete Map: This deletes the saved map.
