Overview
Field mapping is the process of aligning or connecting fields (data attributes) between two different applications. This enables data in one application to be correctly transferred or synchronized with the corresponding fields in another application.
Here's an example: Sarah Connor joins Zylker as a technician. Her details are added to Zoho Directory and needs to be synced with ServiceDesk Plus.
Data in Zoho Directory
First Name: Sarah
Last Name: Connor
Job Title: Technician
Data after being mapped with Service Desk Plus
First Name: Sarah
Last Name: Connor
Job Title: Technician
Once field mapping is configured, Sarah's profile will be automatically created in ServiceDesk Plus with all the relevant details. If Sarah changes departments or her email is updated in Zoho Directory, those changes will automatically sync to ServiceDesk Plus.
This process streamlines user management across platforms, ensuring that user information in Zoho Directory is consistently and accurately reflected in other Zoho apps without the need for manual updates.
