<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Returns <a class="xref" href="C1.Schedule.MappingInfo.html">MappingInfo</a> object for the <span class="xref">C1.Schedule.BasePersistableObject.Index</span> property.
If the storage object is bound to a data source via its DataSource property,
the properties of this object allow the <span class="xref">C1.Schedule.BasePersistableObject.Index</span> property
to be bound to the appropriate field in the data source.</p>

<h5 id="C1_Schedule_MappingCollectionBase_1_IndexMapping_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Each object derived from <a class="xref" href="C1.Schedule.BasePersistableObject.html">BasePersistableObject</a> is identified
by either Id or Index property.
To allow data to be correctly restored from your data sources you should specify mapping
either for the <a class="xref" href="C1.Schedule.MappingCollectionBase-1.IdMapping.html#C1_Schedule_MappingCollectionBase_1_IdMapping">IdMapping</a> or
for the <a class="xref" href="C1.Schedule.MappingCollectionBase-1.IndexMapping.html#C1_Schedule_MappingCollectionBase_1_IndexMapping">IndexMapping</a>.
It makes sense in case if you bind to your data storages of Resources, Labels,
Contacts or Categories.
C1Schedule saves only Ids or Indexes of these objects in AppointmentSorage.
If there is no mapping for IdMapping or IndexMapping, C1Schedule won't be able to
identify Appointment's properties correctly in storages initialized by your data.</p>
