Outside the Schema Editor, SmartPlant Enterprise authoring tools use various internal applications to edit their metadata. Each tool also has one or more tool map schemas that contain the mapping between the authoring tool metadata and the SmartPlant schema. Before you begin mapping, you need to understand the meaning of metadata in each tool, how that metadata is edited internally for each tool, and the name of the tool map schema for each tool.
