Mapping root area

The mapping root area, located across the top of the mapping routine area, contains the Mapping Root twistie, the mapping file indicator, the mapping root canvas, and the contextual menu.

The mapping root twistie

The Mapping Root twistie hides or shows the mapping file indicator and the mapping root canvas.

The mapping file indicator

The mapping file indicator displays the name of the mapping file that is opened in the mapping editor. Figure 1 shows the mapping file indicator when a mapping file named SFMAP_0003.sfmap is opened in the mapping editor:

If any mapping routine in the mapping file contains a mapping in which the mapping editor has detected a warning situation or an error situation, then the mapping editor displays a warning symbol Warning or an error symbol Error inside the mapping file indicator (see Figure 2):

Tip: You can move the mouse pointer icon over the mapping file indicator to display the text associated with the warning or error.
