Mapping Rules Table
The mapping rules allow you to define rules to map the following attribute, object, and state:
• Change intent to release targets for all affected object types
• Change intent for all affected object types
• Release states for objects released by changes
Site and organization administrators can create, edit, and view mapping rules using the Mapping Rules table.
To access the Mapping Rules table, navigate to the following launch points:
• 
> >
> > • 
> >
> >  | The Mapping Rules table is available at the organization context when the wt.mappingRules.enableOrganizationRules property is set to true. By default, this property is set to false. The rules defined at the organization context take precedence over the site context rules. |

If the Change Intent Release Targets mapping rule is defined for any object, then you can find the rule details from the affected or resulting objects table. The Change Intent column of the Affected Objects table shows the change intent value, and the Release Target column of the Resulting Objects table shows the release target value. From these values, you can find the mapping rule details.
