Mapping Fields from the Data Source to FootPrints

In Step 3, you associate fields in your external data source with the fields that are displayed in the Contact Information section of your Issue. For example, to map Last Name, First Name, and User ID to fields in your external data source, you must:

Last Name—Select the field from the drop-down list of fields in the external data source that corresponds to the Last Name in the Address Book.
First Name—Select the field from the drop-down list of fields in the external data source that corresponds to the First Name in the Address Book.
User ID—Select the field from the drop-down list of fields in the external data source that corresponds to the User ID in the Address Book.

Continue mapping fields from the external data source to FootPrints contact information. When you have finished click Next.

Note

Your list of fields will vary depending upon your Workspace. For example, depending on what your Workspace is tracking, you might be mapping employee information or facilities information.
