View Mapping
The View tab, which is available on the Define Mapping window, allows you to define translations of a view from the source system to a view on your Windchill system. You can define the view mapping for each source system with which your Windchill system interacts. For more information, see Best Practices for Using Mapping Definitions.
For mapping the source data to the corresponding target information, follow the procedure mentioned in the Context Mapping topic.

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 view on the source system, but suspect that there are additional views represented, you can explicitly map the known source view to an appropriate view on your system in one line on the View tab, and then specify an asterisk (*) in the next line to catch any additional views and map them to an appropriate view 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.
