Manage Mapping to Innovation Management
Use the Manage Mapping to Innovation Management task to configure value transformations for handling data across the data formats of Product Development and Innovation Management.
Mapping Sets
Each mapping set per connector template represents a use case that filters the data model of Innovation Management to fulfill unique scenario requirements.
The following table describes the mapping sets associated with the connector templates.
Mapping Set |
