Mapping Application Data to Application Entity Fields
Work with the analyst and determine the type of data being collected for applications. Map the data to the existing application entity fields. Existing application entity fields can be viewed from the application entity or you can use the PPM Data Migrator for Microsoft Excel (Data Migrator) to generate a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains the existing application entity fields.
If all the data matches to existing application entity fields, you can skip to the next task of defining users of APM.
If some of the application data collected do not map to existing application entity fields, you can customize the existing entity by modifying existing field attributes or adding new fields to match the data being collected. If there are existing fields you do not wish to use, you may exclude them.
