How to Set Up User Types for Type Mappings in HaloPSA

Type mapping allows Partners to automatically control which HaloPSA contacts sync to CloudRadial, who gets portal access, and how users are categorized - all based on a custom field value in Halo. This feature brings HaloPSA to parity with the type mapping capabilities available for ConnectWise and Autotask.

Creating the Custom Field in HaloPSA

First, create a custom field on your Halo contacts that will hold the type value:

1. In HaloPSA, navigate to Configuration > Custom Fields
2. Entity must be set to User
3. Create a new custom field named CFTypeMapping
4. Set your Label to whatever you'd like (for example: "Executive", "Standard", "Contractor", "Inactive")
5. Set the field type to a text
6. Input Type set to Alphanumeric
7. Character Limit set to Maximum Length
8. Tab set to Custom Fields
9. Apply the field to your contacts

Setting Up Type Mapping Rules

1. In CloudRadial, navigate to Partner > Settings > Type Mappings
2. Click Add Type to create a new rule
3. Enter the type value exactly as it appears in the HaloPSA custom field for the user.
4. Configure the desired rules for that type (see Available Rule Options below)
5. Repeat for each type value you want to manage

Available Rule Options

Each type mapping rule can control the following:

Example Configuration

In this example, Executives sync with VIP priority and full portal access. Standard users sync with login access but no priority. Contractors sync but cannot log in. Inactive contacts are excluded from sync entirely.
