The instances of Input in the map rule are automatically changed to 
GrowthReport. All instances of the card name are changed in all map rules 
where it appears. 
Changing the Type of an Input Card 
You can change the type (TypeName) of an input card. Note that when you 
change the type of an input card, if an object within that card is referenced in a 
map rule, the object name may now be invalid. 
If a map rule contains the name of an object on an input card: 
Flower:ProgressReading:Input 
The type of the input card is GrowthReport and it is changed to 
ProgressReading, which is a component of GrowthReport. The object names in 
the map rule are now incorrect. Flower is a component of ProgressReading, 
which is now the type of the card. After the type of the card has changed, the 
correct name for Flower is Flower:Input. 
To correct the object name in the map rule, drag the object name to the map rule 
again. If you change the type of a card and you have many map rules in that card, 
you may want to use the Replace command in the Edit menu instead.
