Map Class ID

All element types have a default mapping for the Class ID. For information on the list of default mappings, see Default Mappings.

To map the class ID of the element type:

1. On the Element Type Mappings page, select the required element type from the Current Element Type list. The default mappings for the element type are displayed in the EIWM Object Mapping area on the EIWM tab.

   

2. Select ClassID in the object tree. The ClassID area appears.

   Note: If the ClassID attribute is not present in the object tree, you can add the attribute by selecting Object, right-clicking and selecting Add EIWM > ClassID.

   

   Do one of the following:

   • If you want to specify the mapping value for the class ID directly, select the Constant option and enter a value in the Text box. The specified value is added to the EIWM Object Mapping area.

     Note: You can add the value to the list by clicking the Add icon. Click the Delete icon to delete the selected value from the list. When you delete a value from the list, the mapping for the class ID is also deleted.

   • If you want to derive the mapping value from the value of an attribute, select the From Attribute option and select an attribute from the Attribute name list. The attribute is added to the EIWM Object Mapping area.

   • If you want to derive the mapping value from a PML expression, select the From PML option and enter a PML expression in the PML Expression box. The PML expression is added to the EIWM Object Mapping area.

     Important: The mapping will be lost if you move from one option to another. Therefore, before you move to the next page, make sure that all the element types you have selected have the required mappings. The attributes without a mapping are displayed in red.
