Field

Description

Example Values

id

The ID is the unique identification number assigned to the account.

Not all platforms have IDs. Some platforms, such as Box, display the ID as part of the account details. Other platforms, such as G Suite, provide the ID as part of the security settings. Refer to documentation for your specific platforms to identify if the platform uses an ID and how to find it.

For NFS, the ID will be the user directory. The domain must be escaped with additional backslash when creating the map. For example, user company\JoeSmith needs to be company\\JoeSmith. 

123456789


domain\\joesmith

username

This is the username for the account. In most cases, this is the information used to sign in to the account and may be the email address for the account.

jsmith

jsmith@company.com

name

This is the account name--not the user’s name. 

For Web-based platforms, this is the email address associated with the account. 

For a network file share, the name will be the user directory. The domain must be escaped with additional backslash when creating the map. For example, user company\JoeSmith needs to be company\\JoeSmith. 

jsmith@company.com

domain\\joesmith

caption

The caption for the account is the display name. 

For Web-based platforms, this is the name that displays (usually in the top-right corner) when you are logged on to the platform.

For NFS, this is the user's name.

Joe Smith

...

DryvIQ reads the import file in the following sequence:

  1. name

  2. id

  3. username

  4. caption.

Therefore, when possible, using name as the primary mapping element works best and can be supported by including other fields, such as caption. The exception is when creating a group map where Box is the destination. In this scenario, you must provide the Box ID in order for the map to work.
