Customize the Global Display of Links

About this task

Mapping links are the visual lines that connect the fields on the input side of the map to mapped fields on the output side of the map.

Note: This topic refers to elements, fields, and transfer form data (TFDs) generically as fields.

To customize the global display of mapping links:

Procedure

  1. From the Options menu, select Preferences.
  2. Click the Links tab.
  3. Select the linking option that you want to set as the default for all maps.
    • Show no links – Do not display mapping links.
    • Show links to or from the currently selected field – Display only mapping links for the currently selected field (this option enables you to concentrate on the selected field and removes the confusion of viewing many links at once).
    • Show links to or from all visible fields – Display all mapping links (this is the default setting).
  4. Click OK to save changes.
