Changes to either the asset or CI record are updated to the logically mapped record. You can synchronize custom mappings and mappings provided with the base instance.\n\n## Before you begin\n\nRole required: admin or asset\n\n**Note:** If you upgraded from a prior release and customized the AssetAndCISynchronizer script include before the upgrade, you must overwrite the customization and then recreate the custom mappings.\n\n## About this task\n\nYou can conditionally map the fields for synchronization. For example, you can map the Location field only for a hardware asset and not for a software asset. So when an asset is updated, the **Location** field is synchronized only for the hardware asset.\n\n**Note:** You can't map the asset and CI fields if the asset value is present only in the Hardware \\[alm\\_hardware\\] table and not in the Asset \\[alm\\_asset\\] table.\n\n## Procedure\n\n1.  Navigate to **All** > **Asset** > **Administration** > **Asset-CI Field Mapping** and click **New**.\n\n2.  From the **Asset field** list, select the field.\n\n    This list refers to the alm\\_asset table.\n\n3.  Select the logically associated field from the **Configuration Item field**list that refers to the cmdb\\_ci table.\n\n4.  To create conditions for the mapping, click the **Advanced view** related link.\n\n    -   To specify conditions for synchronizing the asset field with the CI field, use the **Asset mapping condition** builder.\n    -   To specify conditions for synchronizing the CI field with the asset field, use the **Configuration Item mapping condition** builder.\n5.  Select the **Active** check box to activate the mapping.\n\n6.  Select **Submit**.\n\n\n**Parent Topic:**[Work with Asset and CI](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-asset-management/asset-management/work-with-asset-ci.md)\n\n"}}
