Using Mapping Codes to Pre-Sort Documents Into Evidence Requests

Use mapping codes in Google Drive, Confluence, and Microsoft 365 SharePoint to automatically surface the right documents in the right evidence requests during your audit.

Available soon to early adopters currently attaching evidence to audits. Coming soon to all Thoropass users.

⚠️ Currently, this feature is in development but coming soon in the next couple weeks!

Mapping codes let you automatically surface the right documents in the right evidence requests—saving time and reducing repetitive searching during your audit.

When you add mapping codes to your documents in Google Drive, Microsoft 365 SharePoint, or Confluence, Thoropass uses those codes to recommend the best-matched documents directly inside each evidence request.


What mapping codes do

Mapping codes help you:

  • Pre-sort evidence so it appears in the Recommended Evidence tab of each evidence request.

  • Speed up audits by eliminating manual searching for files across large folders or spaces.

  • Improve accuracy by ensuring the correct document is attached to the correct request every time.

  • Automate workflows when combined with scripts or integrations that assign mapping codes to files.

Mapping codes are optional—but highly recommended for teams with a lot of documents or recurring evidence.


Where to find your audit’s mapping codes

You do not need to guess or construct mapping codes yourself.
Thoropass generates system-specific mapping codes for your audit automatically.

To find them:

  1. Open your audit.

  2. In the upper-right corner, hover over Document Sync Integrations.

  3. Select View Mapping Codes.

In the modal that opens:

  • Select Google Drive, Microsoft 365, or Confluence to see the correct mapping code format for that system.

  • Use Copy [System] Mapping Codes to copy all codes formatted correctly for that system.

  • Select Go to Integration if you need to review or update your integration settings.

These are the only mapping codes you should use on your documents.


How mapping codes work in each connected system

Mapping codes behave slightly differently depending on the system you label them in.

Google Drive (Google Workspace)

  • Add mapping codes as values within the thoropasssync classification label’s field.

  • Mapping codes in Google Drive are case-insensitive and support spaces and hyphens.

  • Always copy mapping codes directly from Thoropass to avoid formatting mistakes.


Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online

  • Add mapping codes as values in the thoropasssync metadata column.

  • Mapping codes in SharePoint are case-insensitive and support spaces and hyphens.

  • Always copy mapping codes from Thoropass for correct formatting.


Confluence Cloud

  • Confluence uses labels, which do not support spaces.

  • The Confluence mapping codes you copy from Thoropass are already formatted correctly:

    • Spaces are replaced with dashes,

    • No duplicated dashes appear if the original code contained punctuation.

  • Apply:

    • The required base label: thoropasssync

    • Plus one or more mapping code labels.


How mapping codes improve the audit experience

Once your documents are labeled with mapping codes:

  • Thoropass automatically surfaces those documents under Recommended Evidence for any matching evidence request.

  • Recommended documents appear before other connected documents in the Add Files modal.

  • You attach them in a single click using Attach as Evidence.

This works across all connected systems—Google Drive, SharePoint, and Confluence.


Pro tip: Automate your evidence workflows

If your team uses automation (scripts, API-based workflows, custom integrations), you can apply mapping codes automatically to your documents as they are created or updated in the source system.

This enables:

  • Automated evidence preparation

  • Zero-touch population of Recommended Evidence

  • Faster recurring audits


Integration note

Thoropass will only read files with the thoropasssync label if they are stored in the Google Drive shared drive or folder that was selected during Google Workspace integration. Files outside that shared drive (including personal My Drive locations) are not scanned and will not appear in Connected Documents.
