### Defining Mapping

You can define new mapping properties and delete existing properties.

To define mapped properties:

1. Do one of the following:

- Click Define Mapping in the SSA PDM Toolbar.
- Select Define Mapping in the SSA PDM Integration dropdown menu.

The Define Mapping window is displayed.

2. You can now start defining the attributes that you wish to map from SSA PDM to your file. To use an existing property, select a property from the Property Name dropdown list. To create a new property, check the New Property Name and enter the property name of your choice.
3. From the Object field, select Document or File.
4. From the Attribute field, select the desired attribute.
5. Click Add. The mapped property is displayed in the list of mapped properties and fields.

To display the new value in your document, select the Header or Footer checkbox (or both) to the right of the list. The format displayed in the Header or Footer is <Property name> = <Value>. The file property value is the same value as in SSA PDM.

6. To map additional properties/attributes, repeat Step 2 to Step 5 as above.
7. Click OK. The defined mapping is displayed in the Mapped file properties area.

Alternatively, you can use a set of predefined property/attribute mapping values by clicking the Load Defaults button in the Mapping dialog box.

The example below shows the Header of an Excel Worksheet after mapping SSA PDM Document attributes to its MS Office file properties and choosing to display the information in the file's Header.
