Defining map properties

The tabs have a different appearance on the New Map Definition window, depending on whether the map is a transaction map or any-to-any map.

Transaction maps require more information than any-to-any maps. They require all of the standards-related options – transaction, direction, version, and date information for envelopes – as well as the location of the standards directory. Maps that are being copied from another system should be defined just as they were when they were created in the other system. (Maps that are imported with a project are automatically defined during the import process.)

Any-to-any maps require less information than transaction maps, since they do not need any standards-related information—transaction, direction, version, date information for envelopes, or the location of the standards directory.
