Create Migration Mappings

    After creating a Microsoft Teams Chat 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 directly click Create mapping to add mappings one by one or import mappings in bulk; or click the down arrow next to Create mapping, and then select Add/Import mapping or Auto map to create mappings. The Auto map method automatically maps the source and destination chat users based on names.

    Add mappings:

    To manually add mappings, refer to the following steps:

    1. Click Add on the Add/Import mapping page.

    2. Enter the user principal name of the source chat user for which you want to migrate Teams chats and the user principal name of the destination chat/space user to which the Teams chats will be migrated.

    3. Click Save to save the new mapping.

      Repeat the steps above to add additional 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:

    1. Click Import on the Add/Import mapping page.

    2. In the Import panel, you can download the template for mapping examples and configure chat user mappings directly in the file; or you can click Export on the Add/Import mapping page to export a mapping file and modify it.

    3. 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.

      ColumnValue
      Source userThe user principal name of the source chat user
      Destination userThe user principal name of the destination chat/space user
    4. 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.

    5. Click Save after you finish adding mappings to the project.

    Auto map:

    To auto map the chat users, make sure you have configured Scan Profiles and scanned the objects in AvePoint Online Services.

    After you click Auto map, the source and destination chat users will be automatically mapped based on names. You can click Re-scan to map the source and destination chat users again.

    Click Save after you finish adding mappings to the project.
