On the right-hand side are two windows for configuring synonyms for attributes: Business Object Specific and Global. a. From the business objects on the left-hand side, select the attributes you want to use and drag and drop them onto the right-hand side under the Attribute column in the Business Object Specific window. b. From the business objects on the left-hand side, select the attributes you want to use as synonyms and drag and drop them onto the right-hand side under the Synonyms column of the Business Object Specific window. c. Repeat steps 2a and 2b to configure synonyms that apply to all the business objects in the project. Drag and drop the selected attributes under the Attribute column and the Synonyms column, respectively, in the Global window. Result: Map Designer Express will search for all the synonyms for a given attribute and perform automatic mapping when it finds the matches.

Example: The synonym configuration shown in Figure 2 will have the following results: v The business object specific attribute AmazonCustomer.Email will match up with EMailID. v The business object specific attribute Order.SalesBranch will match up with SalesRegion.
