Mapping Criteria

To specify the conditions that the Auto Map uses for creating rules, you must configure the mapping criteria.

Configure the mapping criteria in the Auto Map preferences in the Map Designer.

Option

Definition

Create rules when the names of the sources and targets match

When you click this option, the Auto Map creates rules when the source and target object names match. The match criteria is defined by the Name Matching Options that you selected.

Create rules when the names of the sources and targets match by the specified percent

When you click this option, you must also click the % match arrows to specify a percent. The percent is the degree of match between the source and target object names that the Auto Map operation uses to determine whether it creates rules. The Auto Map operation uses the match criteria as defined by the Name Matching Options that you selected. It creates the rules when the source and target object names match according to those selected matching options and by the percent you specified.

Use the Number of characters field to specify the number of characters to compare. For example, when you specify the number of characters as 5:

The following is a match:
```
Date_424_PO<=>Date_411_PO
```
The following is not a match:
```
PO_424_LineItems<=>PO_411_LineItems
```
