tab.
The Add a New Ingest Mapping page appears.
Note:You can configure multiple ingest mappings for the same default plug-in.

- Do one of the following:
Save — Save your ingest mapping but do not deploy the updated configuration. You can use this option when, for example, you are making several changes and want to deploy all your updates at the same time later.

You can use BYOI ingest in rules after you configure the ingest mapping for a default plug-in.
