Mapping Tab
The Mapping tab is used to map the user's home folder to a specific ThawSpace or partition, or to map
elements of a user's home folder to a specific ThawSpace or partition. This feature is only available at
the administrator level. The current logged in user can not be mapped.
To map a user's home folder to a target destination, select the user's account and under User Location
select one of the options available: Boot Volume, User ThawSpace, Partition, or Custom.
Boot Volume
User ThawSpace
Partition
Custom
If an attempt to map to a location with insufficient space is made, the mapping action
will not take place.
The Short Name must match the Home Directory name in System Preferences >
Accounts > Account_Name > Advanced Options for mapping to work.

This option maps the user account to the volume the operating system is booted
from.
This option maps the user account to the corresponding User ThawSpace created
for this user. It is not recommended that User ThawSpaces be renamed because a
renamed ThawSpace will prevent access from the original user account.
The user account can be mapped to a specific partition listed in the Drives tab.
This option lets certain elements (pictures, movies and, music, etc.) of a user
account be mapped to the User ThawSpace/Partitions. To do this, click on
the element and select the ThawSpace/Partition that it will be mapped to.
Custom mapped users must be located on the boot volume. Users can not
be mapped entirely to their User ThawSpace/any other volume and then
partially custom mapped to another location.
For bookmarks, the location must exist to be mapped; e.g. if a user has never
run Safari, it can not be mapped. Deep Freeze does not create the folders and
bookmarks for a user.
