Creating Field Mappings

Administrators can map individual fields between the Siebel and PIM domains. This mapping determines the fields in Siebel Business Applications and Microsoft Exchange Server that are mapped to each other.

Administrators can turn synchronization on or off for each individual mapped field.

Note: In SSSE, some editable Exchange fields are mapped to Siebel pick list fields. If data for these fields is entered in Microsoft, then typographical errors and case mismatches can cause synchronization problems. To minimize this possibility, you can set the Siebel pick list fields to be case insensitive. For information about enabling field-specific case insensitivity, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

The following procedure describes how to create a field mapping.

To create a new field mapping

1. Navigate to the Administration - PIM Server Integration screen, then the Domain Map view.

2. In the Domain Map list, select a record.

3. In the Field Map list, click New, and then fill in the fields for the new record using the following values.

Field	Description
Siebel Field	Select a Siebel field.
PIM Field	Select a PIM field.
LOV Translation Map	Select an appropriate List of Values (LOV) translation map.
