Auto Map Functionality
To populate the CPP project, you must map the relevant CPP fields to appropriately configured codes, UDFs, or notebook topics. The Auto Map feature searches P6 EPPM codes, UDFs, and notebook topics for names matching the required CPP fields and configures the mapping accordingly. Alternatively, you can create the mapping manually or use a mixture of manual mapping and Auto Map to populate the map.
If you select to run Auto Map when some of the CPP fields have already been mapped, P6 gives two options:
- You can choose to retain the fields that have already been mapped and Auto Map will map only those fields that have not yet been mapped.
- Or you can choose to remap all fields.
The table below describes the fields Auto Map searches in order to populate the CPP mapping for each data type. The order of priority is used to determine which code, UDF, or notebook topic to map if there are multiple codes, UDFs, or notebook topics with names similar to the CPP field name being mapped.
