Creating Service Definitions for Event Mapping
To use an application class for event mapping, you must create a related content service definition based on the application class. Always use the Service Definitions page to create service definitions for event mapping.
Note: While you can still create generic application class service definitions using the Define Related Content Service page, additional options—for example, valid from and to dates—are presented there that are ignored when the service definition is used for event mapping. However, you can use the Define Related Content Service page to add a specific service definition to an ADS project. See Define Related Content Service Page for more information.
