This guidance explains how to create a concept map using Snapper:Author. 

You can use the Snapper:Map mapping tool within Snapper to create concept maps.  Snapper:map can be accessed from the Snapper:map button in the top right hand corner of the Snapper main screen. If you are using Snapper:Map for the first time we recommend you watch the mapping tour within Snapper:Map before you start.

2. In the pop up, fill your metadata and click done. 

3. Enter the details of your source and target code systems and value sets. You must enter Source code system, source value set, target code system and target value set

4. You can add codes to the concept map by following these steps. 

5. Manually enter the mapping source and target codes one by one.  Use the table at the bottom of the screen to record the details. 

6. Upload codes using a csv or tsv file. There is an import wizard to allow you to import source and/ or target codes Snapper will extract labels from the code systems specified.
