View/Edit Attribute Mappings : Create Attribute Mappings
To create a new attribute mapping right-click on either the top-level Attribute Mappings node, or on an attribute group node, or on an existing attribute mapping. From the menu that is then displayed, select either the Create > Attribute Mapping option or the Insert > Attribute Group option.
If the Create option is selected, a new attribute mapping with the default name of New Attribute Mapping is then created at the bottom of the hierarchy of groups and mappings within the current node.
If the Insert option is selected, the new attribute mapping is instead created directly above the node that was selected when the option was selected.
