Folder Mapping
The Folder tab, which is available on the Define Mapping window, allows you to define translations of an object’s folder location from the source system to a folder location on your Windchill system. You can define the folder mapping for each source system with which your Windchill system interacts. For more information, see .
 |
The folder mapping can only be set at the product or library context level. For more information about setting the context level, see Defining Received Delivery Mapping and Context Mapping.

You can use an asterisk (*) character to represent unknown source system values for the context, folder, and view. For example, if you only know the name of one folder on the source system, but suspect that there are additional folders represented, you can explicitly map the known source folder to an appropriate folder on your system in one line on the Folder tab, and then specify an asterisk (*) in the next line to catch any additional folders and map them to an appropriate folder on your system. The asterisk (*) should not be used with any other characters in the source field as it will be taken as a literal string.
