After you connect your external data source to Data Cloud, create connections to map the Data Lake Objects (DLOs) and the Data Model Objects (DMOs). Before you map a data object to a data space, review [Data Mapping](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_mapping.htm&type=5&language=en_US) to understand the requirements and DMO relationships.
