  • Select Configure Attribute Flow and then Data Source Attribute: Object Type: Contact and Data Source Attribute: Object Type: Metaverse Attribute: Person
    1. Data Source Attribute: thumbnailPhoto
    2. Metaverse Attribute: mvThumbNail-Photo
    3. Flow Direction: Export
      1. Allow Nulls: This will depend on your business rules.         If you want all objects to have the thumbnailPhoto then do not check this and if the object does not have a thumbnailPhoto, then you will receive an exception in the Synchronization Service Manager.
    4. Mapping Type: Direct
