Transform Map vs Field Mapping - What's the difference?

[JR42]

Hello!  Can anyone help me understand the difference between a Transform Map and Field Mapping?

The definitions below are not helping me determine the separation.

Filed Mapping: Field maps establish a relationship between a field in an import set table and a field in the target table.  The field map determines what values from the source table the transformation adds to the target table.

Transform Map: Every import operation to a production table requires at least one transform map associated with an import set.  The transform map specifies the data relationships between the import set and the target table.

Hello

Both are interrelated In basic terms when you want to load a data into servicenow transform map is used to define whoch table will be source and which will be destination 

Inside the transform map you will define which field of source table will map with which field of destination table which is known as field mapping

Hello Justin.

A transform map is a set of field maps that determine the relationships between fields in an import set and fields in an existing ServiceNow table, such as Incidents [incident] or Users [sys_user].

So you can understand like it contains multiple field maps.
