Creating Value Mapping
Value mapping allows you to map the target object fields with values. Perform the following steps to create a value mapping record for the target object:
1. From the pop-up window, choose the Default Values List option to create a value mapping. To know more about getting the pop-up window, refer to Creating Object Mapping.
2. Select the target object from the Object drop-down list. It also allows you to search for the object by typing at least three characters.
3. Click Confirm to proceed to the Mapping Editor page. The Mapping Editor page is displayed with target object fields pre-populated.
4. Provide the details as explained in the following table, and then click Save. A confirmation message is displayed on successful validation.
 | When you click Save, a validation message is always displayed in the background. It is an expected behavior. |
