2. Navigate to All > System Properties > All Properties.

3. Search for sn_dex.dex_user_ref_mapping.

4. Select the property.

   1. Copy the example JASON string from the Description field: {"prefix": "dex-blah", "device_user_id_column": "first_name", "suffix": "dex-blah"}

   2. Paste the JASON string to the Value field and update as appropriate.

      • prefix: Provide the prefix value if appropriate or leave it empty.
      • device_user_id_column: Provide the value for the column to which you’re mapping.
      • suffix: Provide the suffix value if appropriate or leave it empty. For example, {"prefix": "", "device_user_id_column": "login", "suffix": "@example.com"}.
