# Data Mapping by Certification Type
{% hint style="info" %}
If you choose not to map your data, ensure that you define the **Certification Type** to: **Management System**
{% endhint %}
To perform the mapping, choose **"Certification Type"** as the Field Name.
1. Go to **'Import Settings'**
2. Click the **'Global Mapping'** tab
3. In the Data Mapping tab, click the **'+ Add Data Mapping'** button
4. Select **Certification Type** as the Field Name you want to do that mapping to.
4. Enter the value of the source data, example: MS
4. Select the target **Certification Type** where you want the source to be mapped.
{% hint style="info" %}
In this case, "**MS**" is the data value defined from the source (e.g., Excel/XML file). The system will not process this data because "**MS**" is not recognized as part of the certification type's dataset. To successfully import the data, you must map it to the correct certification type name recognized by the system—in this example, "**Management System**."
{% endhint %}
5. To add multiple mapping just click the Add Data Mapping button
6. Once done, click the **'Submit'** button
