Mapping attributes

CRM Online provides the ability to map data values from one entity to another. This is a nice feature to help associate data from related entities.

Couple of things to point out:

1. Mapping only occurs when the entity is first created.
2. You must create the mapped entity from the referenced entity.

Create Entity A
Create Entity B
Create a relationship between A-B
Map values off the relationship

Create Entity A. From the newly created instance of A, create B.
The values of A will get copied to the mapped fields of B.
