Overview
New feature in version 2.6.14 introduces a way to bulk change dependency objects to Customer level whilst object type still remains allocated to site. This page describes how to use this feature within the migration
BASL Types
To facilitate this we have introduced a new mapping table called BASL (Before Any Sites Loaded) Types, where we add dependency objects that are moved to customer (BASL) level during a phased migration.
The BASL Types reside under Mappings->Mapping Tables
By default, BASL Types contains a number of Object Types as per screen shot below. These may be added to or removed as required.
Using BASL Types in migration
