Introduction to Template Mappings
To import content from Content Workflow, the content editor needs to set up mappings between your Templates in Content Workflow and templates in Sitecore and their corresponding fields. Follow these steps to map your templates.
Setting up a Template Mapping
1. Click the 'Mappings' button on the Content Workflow ribbon
This will take you to the 'Manage template mappings' screen.
2. Click the 'Add Mapping' button
This will bring up the Field Mappings dialog. The Field Mappings dialog lets you specify which templates and fields should be mapped.
3. Add the mapping details
3.1 First specify a name for the mapping. The mapping name will be used to distinguish mappings on import dialogs.
3.2 Set the default location (optional).
This helps specify the default location (node) in Sitecore where imported Items will be stored. The field is also used on multi-location import dialog to pre-fill the location pickers.
3.3 Select the Content Workflow Project and Template. Also, select the corresponding Sitecore template.
Specify the Content Workflow project and Template you want to map and choose the corresponding Sitecore template (only templates that are stored under the Templates Root Folder will be visible there).
4. Map the Content Workflow fields to Sitecore fields
Once you've added the mapping details (as above), all tabs and fields will be dynamically populated. You can now choose which Content Workflow fields (on the left-hand side) map to which Sitecore fields (on the right-hand side).
Tip: Only fields that are possible to map are displayed in the drop-downs. For example, it is not possible to map a text field from Content Workflow to an image field in Sitecore.
Please note that the right-side dropdown displays all fields from the selected Sitecore template, along with fields from all base templates, which the current template inherits.
Tip: The plug-in supports many-to-one field mappings for text and guidelines field types. This means that it is possible to map, for example, two Content Workflow fields into one Sitecore field. The content of such fields will be concatenated and placed in the Sitecore field.

5. Click the 'Save Mappings Configuration' button
Once complete, you're ready to migrate over your content.
