Example of mapping field values

ALM Octane Synchronizer lets you map specific field values in one endpoint to specific values for the corresponding field in the other endpoint. A good example of when you might need to do this is when mapping defect phases.

ALM Octane and ALM or Jira have different defect phase or status options.

• The ALM Octane Phase field has the following values: New, Opened, Fixed, Proposed Closed, Closed, Deferred, Duplicate, Rejected

• By default, the ALM Status field has the following values for defects: New, Open, Fixed,Reopen, Closed, Rejected.

• By default, the Jira Status field has the following values for defects: To Do, In Progress, Done, Closed.

Because these are standard fields, ALM Octane Synchronizer provides a default mapping for these values, shown in the table below.

You can modify the mapping as needed for your link.
