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.

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.
