Create Migration Mappings
After creating a Microsoft Entra ID migration project, create migration mappings to define the source and destination objects.
You have two accesses to create mappings for a project.
- You can create mappings directly after creating the project using any of the following methods.
- Add mappings
- Import mappings
- Auto map
- 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 click the down arrow next to **Create mapping**, and then select **Add/Import mapping** to add mappings one by one or import mappings in bulk. You can also click **Auto map** to automatically map the source and destination objects based on object names.
Add mappings:
To manually add mappings, refer to the following steps:
-
Click Add on the Add/Import mapping page.
-
Select the object type and enter the source object, source display name, destination object, and destination display name you want to migrate from/to.
-
Repeat the steps above to add additional mappings.
-
Click Save to save the new mappings.
-
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 object mappings directly in the file; or you can click Export on the Add/Import mapping page to export a mapping file and modify it.
-
In the Excel file, 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 user principal name or the object ID of the source user. |
| The display name or object ID of the source security group. | |
| Source display name | The display name of the source object. |
| Type | The object type. You can enter Security group or User. |
| Destination object | The user principal name or the object ID of the destination user. |
| The display name or object ID of the destination security group. | |
| Destination display name | The display name of the destination object. |
-
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.
Auto map:
To use the Auto map method, make sure you have configured and scanned the objects in AvePoint Online Services. Then, you do not need to manually enter the destination objects. Instead, you just need to click Auto map and select the source/destination domain where you want to locate and map users and groups in the Auto map window. Fly will automatically fill the destination objects with the source object and the domain of the destination tenant.
You can click Re-scan to map the source and destination objects again.
If the destination objects of the same name as source objects do not exist, an Alert window will appear for indication. Click Yes in the window if you want Fly to automatically create the destination objects using the same name as the source objects, or you can click Cancel to configure your desired destination objects for the source objects.
Click Save after you finish adding mappings to the project.
Other Actions
You can also perform the following actions to manage migration mappings in the project.
- Refresh stage status – Click **Refresh** to retrieve the stage’s latest status of the mappings.
- Edit Mapping – Select a mapping, click the More () button, and click **Edit mapping** to update the mapping.
> ***Note**: If a mapping contains successfully migrated data or is currently running, the mapping cannot be edited.
- Move mappings – To move mappings from the current project to a different project, select the mappings, click the More () button, and click **Move mapping**. Select a project and click **Move** in the **Move mapping** panel. You can enter the keyword of a project in the **Search** **project** text box and press **Enter** on the keyboard to search the project.
- Delete mappings – To delete mappings that are not needed, select the mappings, click the More () button, and click **Delete mapping**.
Generate migration report – When the migration jobs are finished, you can generate summary reports and detailed reports of objects for selected mappings. Refer to Generate Report for details.
- Categorize with color – You can categorize your mappings with a desired color. What the applied color represents is left up entirely to your organization.
- You can hover your mouse over a mapping and click the apply color () button. Select a color in the **Select a color** window to apply to the mapping.
- You can also select one or multiple mappings, click the More () button, and click **Categorize with color**. In the **Select a color** window, select a color and click **Apply**.
- Export mapping – To export mappings in a project to an Excel file, select desired mappings, click the More () button, and click **Export mapping**.
- Manage columns – Click **Column** to select the columns you want to display on the page, and click **Apply** to apply the display conditions. The **Source** column cannot be deselected.
- Filter mappings – Click **Filter** to filter mappings by desired conditions.
- Create personal view – This allows you to create a personal view for the configuration of filters or displayed columns for convenience. Click the **System view** drop-down list behind **Filter**, and click **Save as**. In the **Save as** window, enter a name for your view. To make this view available only to you, enable the **Make this a private view** button to save it as a private view. To make it available to all accounts of your AOS tenant, leave the **Make this a private view** button disabled to save it as a public view.
After creation, either a private or public view can be set as default, renamed, or deleted. A private view can also be made public.
- Search mappings – Search mappings by entering the keyword of the source/destination in the search box.
