Creating a New Crosswalk
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The **Crosswalks > Create New Crosswalk** link opens a form with fields used to define the new Crosswalk.

.. note:: You can also create a Crosswalk by using a Create link in `Governance Areas (and Roles)`_  or the plus button available in the application header bar.

The Create dialog box asks for the Crosswalk’s **Label** (name) and, optionally, a **Description**.

The Crosswalk creator is set as having *manager* priveleges for the collection.

For both the *From* and *To* collection, select the class of mapped terms from the **Entity Type** drop-down list.
For example, for a taxonomy users will choose Concept or one of its subclasses.
For code lists, the class name often reflects the code list’s contents more directly, such as a “Market Identifier Code” class in a “Market Identifier Codes” code list.

.. index:: pair: Crosswalks; References

References to Crosswalks
""""""""""""""""""""""""

If an asset collection participates in a crosswalk, you will find references to crosswalk(s) in the editor under the **Available Crosswalks** panel.
You will be able to navigate to the relevant crosswalks.
This panel also lets you create a new crosswalk.
When you create a new crosswalk using this panel, you do not need to specify “from” asset collection.

From your collection, click the |panels| dropdown located on the right upper corner of the page and drag **Available Crosswalks** somewhere in the page.

If you select an asset and then click on one of the available crosswalks, a crosswalk editor will open up with that asset pre-selected so you see what it has been mapped to in the crosswalk.
