    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this suggestion has been in status Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration. Through this time the product's mapping capabilities have significantly evolved. For a graphical map defined in ACE, when dealing with elements contained in a submap or localmap, if you select an element, then in the properties pane at the base of the map display, the tool shows properties to help the user identify the element such as its Name, Namespace, Type and Parent. There is then an addition button named "Full path" which can be particularly helpful for heavily nested structures as it displays the full path from the root, for locating the element in the source/target. Status of the idea is closed as delivered.

    Sounds like a good enhancement to the Graphical Data Mapper, thanks very much for raising. We'll look to implement this in a follow-on release or fixpack.
