PARTproject -> Extras -> Additional modules -> Class systems: Mapping [Class systems: map...]... opens the dialog box Map class systems (see following figure).

Using mapping, you can move the class information within one class system into another. This way you can map your own class system onto a previously existent one for example or you can simply classify a catalog with eClass 6.0, which is already classified with eClass 5.1.

On the left side all available class systems are displayed. In the second level all class systems,, which have already been mapped, are displayed in black color (all others without mapping in gray).

On the right side you can see the actual assignment of elements (separated for classes and attributes).

The colors have the following meaning:

	Entries without suggestions
	Entries with available suggestions
	Entries with defined mapping
	Entries with defined multiple mappings

Manual editing happens via context menu commands.

Furthermore you have the opportunity to start a search for single entries once again in an already existing mapping, in order to limit or expand the suggestions with the help of a changed search strategy.

A wizard guides you through the available strategies. There is currently the Levenshtein algorithm, which performs a similarity search on a string basis. This allows the names, descriptions, IDs, etc. of the items to be compared. Special mapping files can also be evaluated for eClass mappings.

Storage location

The mapping files are available at $CADENAS_DATA\datasetup\classsystem\myclass1\<klassifikationsname>_mapfile.xml bzw. <klassifikationsname>_varmapfile.xml.

Add projects to classification

To apply the mapping, the mapping must be assigned in PARTproject the mapping must be assigned to the desired classification at the desired directory level via the context menu command Automation -> Add projects to classification. Only in this step are the projects linked to the new, mapped classification system.

Context menu: Automation -> Add projects to classification

The Add projects to classification [Add projects to classification] dialog box opens.

Other classification

Take attributes from class

	Note
	In the list field under Other classification, entries are only displayed if mappings are available for the desired classification.
