To import content from Content Workflow, you'll need to set up mappings between templates in Content Workflow and page types in Kentico and their corresponding fields. Follow these steps to map your templates:
Click the Mappings button on the Content Workflow menu
The manage template mappings screen will appear.
Click Add Mappings button
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.
Specify mapping name
First, users should specify a name for the mapping. The mapping name will be used to distinguish mappings on import dialogs.
Select Content Workflow project and template and corresponding Kentico page type
Specify the Content Workflow project and Template you want to map and choose the corresponding Kentico page type.
Map Content Workflow fields to Kentico fields
Once you’ve completed the previous steps, all tabs and fields will be dynamically populated. The user can now map Content Workflow fields to Kentico fields. The Content Editor can map the required fields by selecting a Kentico 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 Content Workflow to an image field in Kentico.
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 Kentico field. The content of such fields will be concatenated and placed in the Kentico field.
Please check the mappings table that shows all the supported field mappings:
