    Fields on the Life cycle mapping form

    Field Description
    Mapping for table Legacy CMDB table and descending tables that this mapping applies to.

    Applies to a descending table unless there is a mapping configured specifically to the descending table.
    Priority

    Priority of applying this mapping definition for the table.

    Priority is used when the life_cycle_mapping table contains multiple entries for a class. The highest priority entry is used first when searching for meaningful legacy values. If the first entry can't be used, the next record in priority is used.

    Lower numerical values indicate higher priority.
    Active

    Denotes whether to apply this mapping definition.

    Deactivation results in lower-priority mappings being used or setting standard life cycle fields to TBD.
    Legacy field name Legacy field in the specified Mapping for table that is currently being used to store a life cycle stage. The value should be used as the source for the life cycle mapping.
    Legacy field value Legacy value in the specified Mapping for table that is currently being used store life cycle status. The value should be used as the source for the life cycle mapping.
    Legacy subfield name Legacy field in the specified Mapping for table that is also used for life cycle management.
    Legacy subfield value Additional legacy value in the specified Mapping for table that is also used for life cycle management.
    Life cycle control Class and life cycle stage and status, that are used as the authoritative source of valid combinations for life cycle mapping.
    Table Standard life cycle table to map the specified Mapping for table to. Setting is based on the selection in Life cycle control.
    Lifecycle stage

    Standard life cycle stage to map the specified Legacy field name to. Setting is based on the selection in Life cycle control.

    If there is no match in the life_cycle_mapping table, value is set to TBD.
    Lifecycle stage status
