This
...
page helps you configure Entity Mappings
...
and Field and Value Mappings for your bindings.
Configuring Entity Mappings means setting up Jira Issue Types to match the corresponding Salesforce Objects.
Configuring Field Mappings means setting up Jira fields to match the corresponding Salesforce Fields.
Optionally, you can set up value-to-value mapping for each Field Mapping.
If you haven't done so, consult the Binding a Project to a Connection page before reading this page.
