# New Map Action Item

Selecting **Map Action** creates a **New Map Action Item** under the **Action Steps Tab**.

Click on the item to access the fields.

## Fields

| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Tick this box to make this step “*active*”. You can skip this step by deactivating it by un-ticking this box. |
| Map | Select the **Map** module to be executed by this step. |
| Source Data | Select the source **Definition**. There must be an item under the **Data** tab that this step can reference. |
| Destination Data | Select the destination **Data Definition**. |
| Ignore empty source data and continue processing | Select to continue processing of the Map, even if the source **Data Definition** is empty. This will generally involve the step resulting in a cancelled status. |
| Save To Database | Select to have the destination **Data Definition** save to its output at completion of the **Map**. If not selected, the data will remain in the memory of the destination **Data Definition**, and it should be used again later as a destination of another **Map** with this option selected, so that its data will be saved to the output at that time. |
| Allow single file output to fail individual files and continue |   |
