# Recommended Mapping Examples

The initial configuration already includes useful field associations. Start from these defaults and customize only what is actually required by the business process.

## Contact example

<table id="bkmrk-exchangevtenextlast-"><thead><tr><th>Exchange</th><th>vtenext</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Last name</td><td>Last name</td></tr><tr><td>First name</td><td>First name</td></tr><tr><td>Primary e-mail</td><td>E-mail</td></tr><tr><td>Business phone</td><td>Phone</td></tr><tr><td>Mobile phone</td><td>Mobile</td></tr><tr><td>Home phone</td><td>Home phone</td></tr><tr><td>Business fax</td><td>Fax</td></tr><tr><td>Department</td><td>Department</td></tr><tr><td>Job title</td><td>Title</td></tr><tr><td>Birthday</td><td>Date of birth</td></tr><tr><td>Business address</td><td>Primary shipping address</td></tr><tr><td>Other address</td><td>Other address</td></tr></tbody></table>

The **Primary e-mail** field must remain mapped to a valid vtenext e-mail field.

## Organization example

<table id="bkmrk-exchangevtenextcompa"><thead><tr><th>Exchange</th><th>vtenext</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Company name</td><td>Organization name</td></tr><tr><td>Primary e-mail</td><td>E-mail</td></tr><tr><td>Business phone</td><td>Phone</td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>Business address</td><td>Billing address</td></tr><tr><td>Other address</td><td>Shipping address</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Organization name** is a structural association and should not be treated like a normal free mapping row.

## When to add a custom field

Add a mapping only when the value is actually used, the vtenext field type is compatible, the information must be visible in Exchange and it is clear which system is the authoritative source for the value.

## Avoid excessive mappings

Synchronizing many unused fields makes troubleshooting harder. A smaller, clear mapping based on real business needs is usually preferable.
