# Author Map Rows

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/FMkx29BRGqc>" fullWidth="true" %}

Once a new map has been [created](/snomed-ct-user-guides/snap2snomed-user-guide/how-to-.../2.2-create-a-new-map.md), users of the map can then create an Author [task ](/snomed-ct-user-guides/snap2snomed-user-guide/how-to-.../3-mapping-with-snap2snomed/3.5-tasks.md)to begin working on the map.

Users need to have the appropriate [role](/snomed-ct-user-guides/snap2snomed-user-guide/how-to-.../3-mapping-with-snap2snomed/3.4-project-roles-and-access.md) to create tasks. Alternatively, tasks can be created by owners of the map and assigned to other users.

Please note that within an Author task, only those rows with a status of 'Unmapped', 'Draft', 'Mapped' and 'Rejected' may be edited. To restrict the map view to only these rows, please apply a filter to the Status field with the required status values.

To author map rows:

**1. Open the map to be authored**

\
**2. Create a task containing the rows required to be mapped**

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/lKAJvZAT3zTsh6hylTom" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**3. Open the task, and begin mapping process.**

* Work can be completed in the table view by searching for concepts and dragging them into the map.
* The detailed view can also be used to populate the map
* Once populated, the status can be changed by using the drop down fields in the table view and the buttons in the detailed view
