The Field Mapping feature provides the ability to view and manage all your mapped fields of all your import activities.
Field Mapping issues are caused by when the field name from the source file does not match the field name in the IAF CertSearch database, see the example below:
Source
The actual field value that exists from your source file, that is not recognized by the system.
Target
The field names defined in the IAF CertSearch database.
To minimize data upload issues, we recommend you add field mapping before importing your data. This way you can eliminate interruptions during the import process. To know more about adding field mapping, click here.

On the Global Mapping page, click the 'Field Mapping' tab
This page displays all your Mapped and Unmapped fields in all of your import activities.

Click the 'Global Mapping' tab
