You can specify content types for the target list when you click [Apply Content Types] from the General Options - Select Fields to Migrate dialog.
The left-hand window (Content types on target site ) displays all of the available content types that exist on the target SharePoint instance that can be applied to the target list. The right-hand window (Content types to apply) displays all of the selected content types that will be applied to the list.
To apply content types to lists and libraries:
1.From the Content types on target site window, select all of the content types that you want to apply to the list and move them to the Content types to apply window.

You can view, create, and edit Transformers which, as the name implies, "transform" content during migration.
There are several built-in, non-editable transformers that Metalogix Content Matrix uses to process data during the migration. Advanced users can also create custom transformers using PowerShell.
The Transformations tab consists of two main sections: Available Definitions and Applied Transformers For <Object>. The Available Definitions section will list all of the transformation definitions that are available for the current migration action, in alphabetical order. For example, the Site definition is available when migrating at the site level or higher. However, if migrating as a document library or migrating documents, this definition will not be listed.
When one of the Available Definitions items is selected, any transformations that exist/have been configured within the migrating content will appear. Some of the actions that may be grayed out. These grayed out items are mandatory transformations that are run during the course of a normal migration, and these actions cannot be edited or removed. However, they can be reordered by using the up and down arrows to the right-hand side of the window if you want a transformation action to occur before a mandatory action. Actions that appear and are not grayed are user added transformations, and can be moved, edited and deleted at the users discretion.
In some cases, you could add another instance of an existing transformer, and then have it run in two different locations within the migration process. One could be run in the middle, and it could be run again just before the end.
When you select the Add Transformer > Invoke PowerShell script option for an Available Definition, you can use custom PowerShell scripts to create your own transformations beyond the built-in capabilities of the Metalogix Content Matrix.
Specify when you want the script to run by selecting one of the following options:
Begin Transformation The transformation script will run before the migration of the affected objects, allowing you to read and make changes to objects on the source before objects themselves migrate.
Transform The transformation script will run while the migration of the affected object(s) is in progress. For example, the user mapping between source and target would be run using the Transform option.
End Transformation The transformation script will run after the migration of affected object(s), allowing you to read and make changes to objects on the target.
EXAMPLE: The following Transformer consists of two scripts for disabling and re-enabling the Required setting for a column list.
·The first script entered into the Begin Transformation tab sets the setting of any columns that are Required to false before copying begins.
·The second script, entered into the End Transformations tab, sets the setting back to true after item migration has completed.
