How can I control data mapping from my directory into WiseStamp?
When you choose to sync employee fields from your O365 / Google Workspace directory, information from the directory (such as department, title, phone number, etc.) is automatically imported into your WiseStamp account. The sync process works by mapping, or matching, fields in the directory to the relevant employee fields in WiseStamp.
Sometimes the data that you want to sync to WiseStamp doesn't match the default field mapping used by your directory. If you see that some information being imported from your directory is not the data that you require, you may need custom mapping.
Custom mapping overrides the usual mapping pattern so the information you want can be pulled from the directory. In the following example, the default mapping fields for Mobile and Phone have been changed:

Understanding Default Mapping Patterns
Every corporate directory type has a default mapping method that it uses to pull fields from the directory into WiseStamp. Sometimes the fields in the directory and in WiseStamp have the same names (e.g., email maps to email) and sometimes the fields are not identical, but similar (e.g., photo maps to employee photo). The following tables list default mapping patterns for some popular directories.
