UI Element | Description
--- | ---
| Business Process Testing: Automatically maps each non-mapped test parameter to a parameter (column heading with the same name) in the external data table resource. For automatic mapping, the column heading in the external data table resource must match the test parameter name. The mapping is not case-sensitive. The order of the parameters in the external data table resource does not have to match the order of the parameters in the test. Note: If a parameter has already been mapped, the automap operation does not reset the mapping.
Test Parameter Name | Name of the test parameter as defined in the test.
Resource Parameter Name | Name of the column heading as defined in the external data table resource. Note: For an API test, type the parameter name in this format: `<sheet_name>.<column_name>`. Tip: For business process tests, you can select the column headings from a drop-down list. To clear the resource parameter name, select the blank row in the drop-down list.
Mapping Status | Business Process Testing: Status indicating if the test parameter is mapped to a parameter (column) in the external data table resource. Not Assigned. The test parameter is not associated with an external data table resource parameter. Assigned. The test parameter is associated with an external data table resource parameter.
