Field Mapping window
Use the Field Mapping window to define a rule for inventory data mapping or Active Directory data mapping.
Field - specifies the destination Alloy Navigator Express field:
Name - the object
field name. If you have customized system field labels for these objects,
the Name list displays custom labels.
For updating existing objects:
Replacement Mode - the condition when the object field value should be updated with source service attribute:
Always - the service attribute always replaces the object field regardless of its value.
When Target is empty - the service attribute populates the object field only when the object field is blank.
When Source has value - the service attribute populates the object field only when the service attribute is not blank. This mode prevents the appearance of null values in the database.
Service Attribute - specifies the source service attribute, from which to import the data:
Name - the service attribute's name:
For Inventory Data Mapping:
Choose an audit snapshot attribute in Network Inventory. The list matches the data type of the selected object field.
For Active Directory Data Mapping:
Choose an Active Directory attribute such as givenName, telephoneNumber, or thumbnailPicture. The list matches the data type of the selected object field.
NOTE: If you want to import person pictures from the thumnailPhoto attribute, note that the Active Directory Synchronization supports only JPEG, PNG, and BMP image formats.
NOTE: For details on Active Directory attributes, see the "Attributes" section in the "Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Schema" article in the MSDN Library at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc221082.aspx.
In addition to Active Directory attributes, the list also contains some pseudo attributes. Click here to view the details.
