The Mappings Table

The mappings table is the component of the recipe editor that links your recipe ingredients to their nutritional data items in the database. In order to correctly calculate nutritional data, each ingredient must be mapped to an appropriate item in the nutritional database. Ingredients that have been mapped are marked with a "check" icon and will show the name of the nutritional item it maps to. Unmapped ingredients are marked with a "question mark" icon. Unless a mapping is provided, these ingredients will not be used in the nutritional calculations for the recipe. To see the item in the database that the ingredient maps to, you just need to click on the link button next to the nutritional item name.
