Remove Mapping of an Element

You may come across a requirement for removing the mapping between the elements of a source and destination layout either in existing mapping or while you are creating a new one. In Adeptia Connect, you can remove the mapping between the elements from either the source or the destination layout. Whereas, you can remove mapping as well as use other options like For Each, Comments, Sorting Rules, and Local Variable at the destination element, you can only remove mapping from the source layout elements.
