How to Add or Edit a Map Definition

You use the Map Definition function to add and edit maps used by various functions in ND MMIS.

Before you can add a map definition, the map types and the valid data elements for each map type must be set up as system-wide system lists in ND MMIS.

After you add a map, it cannot be deleted. However, you can choose to void or close the individual effective-dated map definition conditions.

You cannot edit the following information after the map has been added: 

• LOB
• Map Type
• Map ID
• Description
• Data Definition Type

If you edit a map that is used by more than one line of business, benefit plan, etc., a warning message notifies you that the changes may impact other areas.

On some panels on this page, you can click Add to display additional fields for adding values. Already existing values (if any) are listed in a table. Click a column heading to sort the table according to that information. You can click a table row to see fields for editing values.

Optionally, you can:

• Replicate a map definition within the same line of business.
• Replicate map definition details within the same map definition.
• View or add notes. To view or add notes for this record, on the action bar, click Notes.
• View audit details. To retrieve audit information, close any open panels and, on the action bar, click Audit Log. To view the details for a particular record, click Audit.
• Reset your entries. To clear the fields and remain on the page or panel, click Reset.
• Cancel your entries. To close the page or panel without saving your changes, click Cancel.
