Object Mapping Rules

The Object Mapping Rules section allows you to insert new rows for objects, files, and devices—and then define their rules for discovery. You can also remove rows or move them up or down in the table. Entries are evaluated in a top-down order.

The rules are comprised of Vendor, Object Type, Property, Match Strings, EO Type, Object Model Name, and Function Key. The inputs are Vendor, Object Type, Property, and Match Strings. If a device matches the parameters of the inputs, the device uses the specified object model and function.

A function can be either a name or a key. If a string maps to a function name (a real function) in a library, the function is used. If no function is found, a function key is used. The function key may map to a function key in the Import Rules.
