Creating a new mapping

You can use the <ExternalList> element to create a custom external metadata file in the following format:


<ExternalList>
<ExternalListID>3C6ECB67-BBD9-4259-A8DB-B49328927248</ExternalListID>
<Name>My Custom Mapping</Name>
<Shortcut>MCM</Shortcut>
<Description>My custom mapping description</Description>
<Group>MCM</Group>
<ExternalCategoryDefinition>
	<Name>Custom Mapping CAT 1</Name>
	<Description>
	Description for Custom Mapping CAT 1.
	</Description>
	OrderingInfo>1</OrderingInfo>
</ExternalCategoryDefinition>
<Mapping>
	<InternalCategory>SQL Injection</InternalCategory>
	<ExternalCategory>Custom Mapping CAT 1</ExternalCategory>
</Mapping>
<OrderingInfo>1</OrderingInfo>
</ExternalList>

After you create your custom mapping file, you must upload it to Application Security. For instructions, see Importing security content.

If you upload an FPR file that contains a custom mapping, and that mapping is not present on the server, Application Security displays a processing warning.
