To import content from GatherContent, you'll need to set up mappings between Templates in GatherContent and templates in Umbraco and their corresponding fields. Follow these steps to map your templates:

The manage template mappings screen will appear.

Clicking on the "Add Mappings" button will bring up the Field Mappings dialog. The Field Mappings dialog lets the user specify which templates and fields should be mapped.

First, users should specify a name for the mapping. The mapping name will be used to distinguish mappings on import dialogs.

Next, the default location field can be set (optional). This helps specify the default location (node) in Umbraco where imported Items will be stored. The field is also used on the multilocation import dialog to pre-fill the locations pickers.

Specify the GatherContent project and Template you want to map and choose the corresponding Umbraco template.

Once you’ve completed the previous steps, all tabs and fields will be dynamically populated. The user can now map GatherContent fields to Umbraco fields. The Content Editor can map the required fields by selecting a Umbraco field in the corresponding dropdown on the right-hand side of the screen.

Only fields that are possible to map are displayed in the dropdowns. For example, it is not possible to map a text field from GatherContent to an image field in Umbraco.

Please note that the right-side dropdown displays all fields from the selected Umbraco template, along with fields from all base templates, which the current template inherits.

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 GatherContent fields into one Umbraco field. The content of such fields will be concatenated and placed in the Umbraco field.

Please check the mappings table that shows all the supported field mappings:
