• Key Concepts: 
  Mapping rules are used in the Enterprise Portal (EP) Portal Content (PCT) component to define how content is displayed in the portal. They are used to define the layout of the portal page, including the navigation structure, content elements, and other elements. Mapping rules are also used to define how content is retrieved from external sources and how it is displayed in the portal. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Mapping rules are created in the EP-PCT component using the Portal Content Studio. The Portal Content Studio provides a graphical user interface for creating and managing mapping rules. The mapping rules can be used to define the layout of a portal page, including the navigation structure, content elements, and other elements. The mapping rules can also be used to define how content is retrieved from external sources and how it is displayed in the portal. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating mapping rules, it is important to consider how they will be used in different contexts. For example, if a mapping rule is used to display content from an external source, it should be designed so that it can be easily reused in different contexts. Additionally, when creating mapping rules, it is important to consider how they will interact with other components of the portal, such as navigation structures and content elements.
