Mappings tab

The Mappings tab of the Properties window is visible when a control that is or can be mapped to external systems is selected in the Form editor. This tab shows the data mappings that have been created for the control.

The left pane lists all external systems to which the selected control is mapped. When you expand the mapping nodes, you can see the tables and columns in which the mapping appears. For names that are too long for the visible pane, you can display a tool tip with the complete name by placing the cursor above the name.

To open the Data Mappings window, right-click the mapping node, table, or table column name and select Data Mappings Editor from the pop-up menu. The Data Mappings window opens with the selected node highlighted.

When you click a node in the left pane, the right pane displays the mapping properties of the selected node. This information is read only.
