{% hint style="info" %}
In this case, "**Primary Site**" is the data value defined from the source (e.g., Excel/XML file). The system will not process this data because "**Primary Site**" is not recognized as part of the certification site type dataset. To successfully import the data, you must map it to the correct certification site type recognized by the system—in this example, "**Main Site**."
{% endhint %}

7. To add multiple mapping just click the Add Data Mapping button:
8. Once done, click the **'Submit'** button
