Click the Preview button to open a list and see the result of the Parameter mapping.

The rest of the items will be automatically imported during the first Synchronization.
Click Save to finalize the Directory Service connection settings.
In the Filter users section, click Edit, and switch the Filter to “Import selected users and groups.”
Click the Select users and groups button and mark the users and groups you wish to import.
Note: Only those users are listed here for which the parameter mapping created a valid result.
Click OK to close the selection dialog.
Click Save to store your changes.
