Create Migration Mappings
After creating a project, create migration mappings to define the source and destination objects.
You have two ways to create mappings for a project.
- You can create mappings directly after creating the project using any of the following methods.
- Add from scanned objects
- Import mappings
- You can also click **Projects** in the left pane to access the **Projects** page, and click the project name of the project for which you want to create mappings.
On the **Project mappings** page, you can directly click **Create mapping** to add mappings from scanned objects or import mappings only.
Add mappings:
To manually add mappings, refer to the following steps:
-
Click Add from scanned objects on the Add/Import mapping page. The Add from scanned objects panel appears. Make sure you have scanned source objects on the source agent.
-
-
Select the mode to add mappings:
-
Tree mode – The users, groups, and contacts in the source Active Directory will be automatically loaded based on OUs. Select a node or expand a node and select a sub node to add mappings for the selected objects.
-
Search mode – Select a type from the drop-down list, enter the keywords of the object, and press Enter on the keyboard. The search results will be displayed. Select desired objects and click Add to add mappings for the selected objects.
-
-
Click Save after you finish adding mappings to the project.
-
If there are mappings that already exist in another project, the Alert panel will appear. You can select to remove duplicate mappings from the current project, or move duplicate mappings found in other projects to the current project. Then, click Save to save the updates.
Import mappings:
To import mappings in bulk by importing a configured Excel file, refer to the following steps:
-
Click Import on the Add/Import mapping page.
-
In the Import panel, you can download the template for mapping examples and configure mappings directly in the file; or you can click Export on the Add/Import mapping page to export a mapping file and modify it.
-
Configure the information of each mapping in one row, and save the file. You can refer to the table below for how to configure the mappings.
-
| Column | Value |
|---|
| Source object | The SAM account name of the source user/group.The common name of the source contact. |
| Source display name | The display name of the source user/group/contact. |
| Source OU | The OU of the source user/group/contact. |
| Destination OU | The OU of the destination migrated user/group/contact. |
| Object type | UserGroupContact |
-
After the configurations, import the mapping file by dragging the file or browsing the file from the local location. Click Save to save the mapping file to the project.
-
Click Save after you finish adding mappings to the project.

- After creation, either a private or public view can be set as default, renamed, or deleted. A private view can also be made public.
