Mapping elements to Synergetic fields

Elements must be mapped to Synergetic fields to ensure user information can be imported into Synergetic.

For example, the following element is mapped to the Surname field of the OnlineImportContacts library.

Element (selected, Mapping highlighted)

During the import process the information entered into this element by the user is populated into the Surname field in the Contacts area of the Process Online Applications/Enquiries Import window. See Processing online applications/enquiries in the Synergetic Future students manual.
