iMap works on the principle of Artificial Intelligence and leverages a repository of mappings stored at the Adeptia-secured cloud. This repository hosts the mappings created by users of Adeptia Suite. Each of these mappings has specific keywords attached to it which a user would provide in the metadata field while creating a mapping. If you choose to use iMap while creating a mapping, it will fetch the mapping suggestions (from the repository) that match the elements of schema. iMap uses a series of algorithms and provides mapping suggestions that are nearest to the accuracy you look for. You can then choose from these high-, medium-, and low-confidence mapping suggestions accordingly.

- Click
to open the iMap wizard. iMap displays following three recommended mapping suggestions that can be applied to your schemas based on the mapping already done by the Adeptia Suite users.
Suggestion Description High Confidence This category fetches the mapping suggestions after matching the highest number of metadata and mapping rules with the elements of mapping that you have created. This type of confidence is always valid and can be imported directly. Medium Confidence This category of mapping rules contains the suggestions of those elements whose mapping is not matched in the high category. Hence, the dependency of the rules suggested in medium confidence might not be present in the current mapping. Therefore, you must validate these suggestions before using in the current mapping. Include Semantic This category of mapping rules contains the suggestions of those elements whose mapping is not covered in both High & and Medium categories. This is calculated by using a semantic comparison between source and target elements. Therefore, you must validate these suggestions before using in the current mapping. Info A number corresponding to each suggestion denotes the number of source and target elements that can be mapped. - Select from the iMap suggestions and click Apply. The selected mapping suggestion will get applied to your loaded schemas.
- You can also map the fields manually by clicking Explore.
iMap window appears with a list of mappings that can be applied to your loaded schemas. High confidence mapping is selected as default and is marked as Recommended. However, you can change the selected mapping from the list.
Info You can also view other mapping suggestions by clicking 
displayed at the lower left corner.Select the mapping to apply to the loaded schemas, select option(s) from the Other Options to apply on the selected mapping, if needed, and then click Apply.
Option Name Description Include clones Imports mapping rules for clones if exist in the selected mapping to be applied. Include medium confidence mappings Searches the map rules and applies to the elements that are not mapped by the selected mapping option. Include low confidence mappings Semantically map the elements that are not mapped by the selected mapping and other mapping rules, if selected. - You can also view the preview of the selected mapping to be applied and also choose the mapping rule that you want to apply to the element by clicking Explore.
iMap window appears listing the target elements with mapping rule that can be applied to the elements.
Select the rule that you want to chooseField Name Description MapTo Displays all the target elements in a structured tree. MappingRule Displays the mapping rule to be applied to an element.
ThisBy default, this field will display
data It will also list the mapping rules and for each applied to an element separated by ::mapping rules only for suggested high confidence mappings.
An element may have for each rule and mapping rule applied.
For each rule will be displayed in the format - <foreachrule>::.
Mapping rule will be displayed in the format - ::<mappingrule>.
If an element has both mapping rule and for each then it will be displayed as <foreachrule>::<mappingrule>.
Info Displays the mapping rule and for each applied to an element. In addition, it will also display the following details, if any, applied to an element - Global Variable, Local Variable, Ancestor Variable, Custom Methods, Global Methods, Key, Connection Variable, Context Variable, Local Template, Global Template, Group Template, Global ValueMap, Group ValueMap, Project ValueMap, and SourceXpath.
Select Check box to select or clear the element. to apply a rule to an element. Expand All Expands all the target elements of a structured tree. Choose the mapping rule from the drop-down list displayed corresponding to the element in the MappingRule column. This drop-down will list all the mappings applied to an element in other mappings.
ssInfo If you are changing any rule on the branch node, then a dialog box will appear with the following three options.
Option Name Description Merge Select this option to apply the selected new rule to the child elements except for those that does not have any mapping rule. Overwrite Select this option to overwrite the existing rules applied to the child elements with the selected new rule. Retain Select this option to retain the existing rules applied to the child elements. The new rule will be applied only to the branch element (node). On choosing from any of the options, a
warning may appear. Click
to view the warning message.- Select Include Semantic check box to include semantic mappings to the elements. On selecting this check box, a semantic mapping rule will get applied to the elements on which no mapping rule is defined.

The term 'H' in the green background indicates high confidence rules, 'M' in the yellow background indicates medium confidence rules, and 'LS' in the red background indicates semantic rules.
