# Data Mapping by Sectors

{% hint style="info" %}
If you choose not to map your data, ensure that you define the country using IAF CertSearch's sectors dataset. You can view the full list here: [Sectors ](/certification-bodies/data-management/standards/technical-sectors.md)
{% endhint %}

To perform the mapping, choose **"Sectors"** 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 **Sectors** as the Field Name you want to do that mapping to.
5. Enter the value of the source data
6. Select the target **Sectors** where you want the source to be mapped.

{% hint style="info" %}
In this case, "**Agriculture**" is the data value defined from the source (e.g., Excel/XML file). The system will not process this data because "**Agriculture**" is not recognized as part of the sector dataset. To successfully import the data, you must map it to the correct sectors recognized by the system—in this example, "**1 — Agriculture, forestry and fishing**."
{% endhint %}

7. To add multiple mapping just click the Add Data Mapping button
8. Once done, click the **'Submit'** button&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.iafcertsearch.org/certification-bodies/data-management/import-settings/global-mapping/data-mapping/data-mapping-by-sectors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
