## Create Map

After logging in, you can create a new map by clicking the "Create map" button.

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/rmpkv1RDGiarCroaXfpd" alt=""><figcaption><p>This will open a dialogue to allow you to define and upload the metadata for the map (e.g. title, version, source, target, etc)</p></figcaption></figure></div>

## Select Author Mode

First, you need to state the author mode for your project. This can't easily be changed once the map is created.

When creating a new map, choose the author mode that best fits your workflow:

* **Single Author Mode** : In this mode, one person is responsible for mapping, and a separate reviewer will review and validate the mapping.
* **Dual Author Mode** : Two mappers work independently (blindly) on the mapping process. If they select different targets, a reconciler will review and resolve any discrepancies.

## Specify Map Metadata

Next, you need to define the key metadata for your map:

* **Title** : Provide a descriptive name for the map (e.g., *Example Map*).
* **Version** : Assign a version number to track changes (e.g., *0.1*).
* **Description** : Briefly explain the purpose of the map (e.g., *An example map from common diseases to SNOMED CT*).
* **Source Code-Set** : Upload the source code set to Snap2SNOMED and select the relevant dataset (e.g., *Common diseases: 1*).
* **Target SNOMED CT Version** : Choose the SNOMED CT version you are mapping to (e.g., *International Edition, 20210731*).
* **Scope of Map Target** : Define the scope of the SNOMED CT target concepts:
  * Select from a predefined set (e.g., *Clinical Finding hierarchy*).
  * Use a custom Expression Constraint Language (ECL) query for a more specific scope (e.g., *< < 404684003*).

## Select Individuals and Specify Roles

In this step, assign roles to team members based on their responsibilities in the project:

* **Owner** : Has full control over the project, including managing roles, creating new versions, and handling project settings.
* **Member** : Can author mappings, review and reconcile differences, and create tasks.
* **Viewer** : Has read-only access and can view the project but cannot make changes.

**How to Assign Roles:**

1. Search for an individual in the list.
2. Select their role from the dropdown menu.

Proper role assignment ensures clear responsibilities and effective collaboration within the projec
