Manually mapping the document types and metadata

The Document Type and Metadata Mapping dialog box, shows the following:

•	All the StreamServe documents types and metadata in the application domains that are linked to the ELS connection profile.

•	All the document models and properties in ELS.

•	The Categories in the Content Server Categories folder and attributes for each Category. To map to Categories from another folder, see To browse Content Server folders for Categories to map to a document type.

When you click OK to close the Document Type and Metadata Mapping dialog box, the affected StreamServe applications start using your mapping immediately. If you do not want the applications to start using your mapping, you can save your changes as an XML file. This is useful if you want to continue mapping the document types and metadata at a later stage, make a backup of your mapping, or want to import your mapping to another site.

To manually map a document type to a document model and categories

1	On the Repositories node, right-click the ELS repository connection, and then click Document Type Mapping.

2	In the Document Types area, in the StreamServe list, click the document type.

3	In the Document Types area, in the Document Model drop-down list, click the document model to map to the document type.

4	Optionally, in the Category area, select one or more Categories to map to the document type. To find a Category in another folder, see To browse Content Server folders for Categories to map to a document type.

5	You can now map metadata data to properties and attributes. Or, if you are finished with mapping, do one of the following:

–	Click OK, which deploys your mapping to the affected StreamServe applications.

–	Click File > Save As, which saves your mapping as an XML file.
