◦ Root Object — the name of the Model or Package that is the Modeler root item for the Mapping.
◦ Document — the name of the PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager Document that is synchronized by the Mapping.

If you hover the mouse pointer over a Mapping, a ToolTip provided information about the Mapping.
