What is field mapping and how to do it?

Field mapping is the process of matching attribute fields from a source to attribute fields on a target source to prevent data loss during the migration processes, e.g. First Name to First Name. The first name, last name, phone number, and email address fields are all mandatory for mapping in Red Belt Gym. The other fields are optional but highly recommended.
