# About the `subMapping` element

A `subMapping` element has the following XML attributes:

* `name`: a required element specifying the name of the sub-attribute that is mapped.

* `ldapAttribute`: a required element specifying the name of the LDAP attribute to which the SCIM sub-attribute maps.

* `transform`: an optional element specifying a transformation to apply when mapping an attribute value from SCIM to LDAP and vice-versa. The available transformations are described later. The available transformations are described in [Mapping LDAP Entries to SCIM Using the SCIM-LDAP API](../pingdirectory_server_administration_guide/pd_ds_map_ldap_entries_scim_ldap_api.html).
