Mappings

The Mappings feature provides the capability to translate terms (i.e., class names, attribute names, parameter names, relationship names, relationship attribute names, parameter fields, etc.) used in GENESYS to the specialized language of particular disciplines or stakeholder communities. For instance, for an electrical engineer, the word “item” can be mapped to the word “signal” and the word “link” can be mapped to the word “trace”, etc.

 

To access the Mappings feature in GENESYS, click the arrow next to Utilities in the Project Explorer pane and then select Mappings.

 

The available mappings display in the Browser pane.
