    2. Provide the Description of the function
    3. Add the parameter “SourceField” by clicking on ‘+’ button. Provide the Data Type as ‘string’ or ‘integer’.
    4. Provide PowerShell script to read a source field value and return it’s matching target value from the global PowerShell CSV object as shown below:

$GroupId= $MigrationItem.SI.GroupId;
$sourceValue = 'NA';
$meta = Get-PVQMetadataRow $GroupId $global:Groupid;

{
$sourceValue = $meta.$SourceField;
}
return $sourceValue ;

9. Click on Save Function and then select the newly-created mapping function.
10. After creating and selecting a new function, you need to provide the necessary parameter(s) in the “List of parameters available for the function” section as shown below i.e. Select mapping type as Constant and provide the column name which needs to be retrieved from CSV as given below.
