Import Attribute Transformations

Once familiar with the populated attributes in Profile Manager, navigate to the Active Directory Import Management tab and select Device User Attribute Mappings as shown in Figure 80-Device User Attribute Mappings.
  1. In the center pane, both PTT Pro System and Profile Manager Systems are shown. Some of these existing elements are required, indicated by the asterisk. These are the data elements in the
    PTT Pro
     and Profile Manager (PFM) solutions that need to be populated when the AD import job is executed, and the transformation is completed.

  2. The table below shows each of the required elements in the PTT Pro System and Profile Manager Systems.
    The idea is to identify an AD attribute for each of the required
    PTT Pro
     and Profile Manager data elements. The data elements used in this example work for this test environment. AD Attributes used in production can vary dramatically.

  5. For each System being populated,
    PTT Pro System
     and
    Profile Manager System
    , click each of the required fields.
    The Transformation field prompts for the selected attribute to be entered.
    The AD attribute is case sensitive. If the input attribute case does not match, the import job fails.
  6. Complete the transformations for the required fields in the
    PTT Pro  System
     and
    Profile Manager System
     sections.
