Field Mapping: Attributes and Values List

Created by Logan Byrd, Modified on Mon, Jun 23 at 3:06 PM by Reid Albright

This article includes all details related to the field mapping of member attributes in the Avidon system. Field mapping is required for portals assigned to authentication types of User Eligibility and SAML 2.0.

The table below includes the following:

System Name: The attribute field name used by the system
Data Type: How the data should be entered and the character limit, if applicable
Notes: Further explanation for the field, when necessary
A single * by the System Name indicates that it can be used as a validation field for User Eligibility (note that any field designated as a validation field is required)
A double ** by the System Name indicates that it is a required field for SAML 2.0

Note: Avidon supports Gender Legacy data type—see the Data Transformation article for more details.
