Creating Worklist Manager Task Mappings

The mapping feature is only available from the Actions tab of the Task Definition Editor. You can map data directly from the source to the destination with no additional processing by creating a mapping from the source tree pane directly to the destination tree pane without using any of the functions.

You can also create a mapping that uses one or more XPath functions from the Mapper's menu bar. For example, you can use the Get Email (LDAP) function to obtain email addresses from the task input data.

To Create a Mapping Without Using any Functions

1. In the source tree, expand the tree nodes until the node that you want to map from appears.

2. If the destination panel contains a tree, expand the tree nodes until the node that you want to map to appears.

3. Select the node in the source tree and drag the pointer to the node in the destination tree.

   A link connects the nodes.

To Use a Function in a Mapping

1. In the destination tree, expand the tree and select the node you want to map to.

   A blue area appears on the mapping pane. The functions you select appear here.

2. Click the drop-down menu that contains the function you want to use.

3. In the list that appears, click the function.

   A function box appears in the mapping pane.

4. Map any arguments into the appropriate connector on the left side of the function box.

   The source can be a node in the source tree pane or the output from another function box.

5. Map the result from the right side of the function box.

   The destination can be a node in the destination tree pane or the input into another function box.

To Delete a Link or Function From a Mapping

1. Select the link or function to delete.

2. Press Delete.
