Creating a Mapping

To create a field mapping, first create a record for the mapping, and then map the fields.

NOTE:  For Siebel Tools objects to be accessible in the Siebel application, the Siebel repository must be updated in the appropriate database.

To create a record for a mapping

1. Navigate to the Administration - Document screen > Presentation Field Mappings view.
2. In the Business Objects list, create a new record.
3. Complete the fields as described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Mapping Name	Enter a name for the mapping.
   Business Object	Use the Business Objects dialog box to select the business object that contains fields used in the presentation, and then click OK. For example, if you are creating an opportunity presentation, select Opportunity in the Business Object field.
   Description	Enter a description of the mapping for your own use.

4. In the Business Objects Explorer, in the left frame, click the plus sign (+) next to the business object for which you created a mapping.
5. Select the Business Components folder.
6. In the Business Component list, create a new record and complete the fields.

NOTE:  You can associate more than one business component mapping with an object. For example, if you are creating an opportunity presentation, you would select the Opportunity business component. You could also select the TAS Account business component to create mappings for views under the Opportunity TAS view.
