Step 1. Create a crosswalk

Create a crosswalk to map code values in a source code list to code values in a target code list from same or different reference data sets. Value mappings provide a way to translate code values in one code list to code values in another code list.
    1Click New and select Crosswalk.
    The New Crosswalk window appears.
    2In the Source Reference Data Set field, select the reference data set that contains the code list you want to map.
    3In the From Code List field, select the source code list.
    The crosswalk is associated with the source code list.
    4In the Target Reference Data Set field, select the reference data set that contains the code list you want to map to the selected source code list.
    5In the To Code List field, select the target code list
    The target code list contains code values that you want to map.
    6Click OK.
    A new crosswalk is created. The crosswalk name displays the source code list and target code list. If the target reference data set is different from the source reference data set, the crosswalk name displays the name of the target reference data set adjacent to the target code list.
    In the Explore panel, you can view the crosswalk name appended with the target reference data set name when the source and target reference data sets are different.
    Note: Users with a Reference Data Management Basic Edition license can create crosswalks only between the default code list and another code list of the same reference data set.
    7Click the Summary tab.
    8 Optionally, enter a description.
    Note: You cannot configure the general properties. A crosswalk inherits its general properties from the source and target reference data sets.
    9 Optionally, complete the status fields.
