# Mapping Autodesk Username to Email Address

# Introduction

The autodesk-user-name-to-email.map is used to map Autodesk application user name to the user's Autodesk account email address.

This is used to get the user's Autodesk product assignment when there is no Autodesk user profile collected from the Autodesk application usage from the workstations.

# Configuring autodesk-feature-rename.map

1. Open autodesk-user-name-to-email.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

2. Specify the username and email to map with the following syntax:

   Mapping Syntax

   MAP: user1@openit.com
   user1

   Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimize Rules to Speed-up Rename or Mapping page.

   In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'User' and 'user', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

   Example

   MAP: lou.sanchez@openit.com
   lou.sanchez

   This example maps lou.sanchez to lou.sanchez@openit.com.

   You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

3. Save the changes.

   The mapping file will only affect the data collected after configuring. To apply the mapping for historical data, you need to regenerate that data. This process will help ensure that all your information is aligned and accurate.
