A Custom Object Map file allows you to change any aspect of how the sync creates new objects on the destination directory for this connection.  Object Map Files are directory type specific. The source and destination directory type of the connection must be appropriate for a specifically configured Object Map file.  (i.e. An Ex55-to-AD map file may not be used in an AD-to-Ex55 connection.)

The most common use for a Custom Object Map is to customize how attributes are mapped between systems. For more help on Custom mapping syntax, click the Help button on the Custom Map tab of your connection.
