Analysis Mapping Fields

This topic describes the fields and buttons that are available when creating an analysis mapping from the Analysis Mappings tab.

Note:

Analysis mappings and analysis mapping entries are stored as Foundations configuration item custom metadata records. We recommend that you use the features on the Analysis Mappings tab to create and manage analysis mappings, rather than editing custom metadata records directly. For more information about the metadata type, see Foundations Configuration Item Custom Metadata Type Fields.
