You can also import field mappings from a sample file. Navigate to <Quality Center Synchronizer Client directory>\samples directory, and select the file for the type of endpoint that you are synchronizing with Quality Center.
7To export a set of field mappings to an XML file, click the Export button. In the Save As dialog box, type a file name for the XML file to which you want to export the field mappings and click Save.
8To add a mapping between fields in each endpoint, select the field in each endpoint that you want to map and click the Map Selected Fields down arrow. Choose the direction of the mapping using one of the following options:
Option | Description |
