6. Make any necessary changes to the source format settings.
7. Select **Save**.

## Step 2: Creating custom fields

Create any [custom fields](/docs/custom-fields-1) and [prompts](/docs/prompts) to track any data not represented in the source format.

The following chart shows Banner fields, data definition and corresponding Slate fields.

- The **Slate ID**is a standard data field and does not need to be created in your Slate instance.
- The other fields are **custom fields**.
  - If you want Slate to capture data for these fields, create custom fields.
  - *Additional ID Type Code* and *Campus Email Type Code*require prompts as well.

| **Banner field** | **Banner data definition** | **Slate field** | **Slate data definition** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `GORADID_ADDITIONAL_ID` | VARCHAR2 (50 CHAR) | Slate ID | Free Text |
| `SPRIDEN_ID` | VARCHAR2 (9 CHAR) | Banner ID | Free Text Unique for Merging |
| `SPRIDEN_PIDM` | NUMBER (8) | PIDM | Free Text |
| `GOREMAL_EMAIL_ADDRESS` | VARCHAR2 (128 CHAR) | Campus Email | Free Text |
| `GOBTPAC_EXTERNAL_USER` | VARCHAR2 (30 CHAR) | Username | Free Text |
| `GOBTPAC_PIN` | VARCHAR2 (256 CHAR) | PIN | Free Text |
| `GORADID_ADID_CODE` | VARCHAR2 (4 CHAR) | Additional ID Type Code | Single Value (w/ Prompt) |
| `GOREMAL_EMAL_CODE` | VARCHAR2 (4 CHAR) | Campus Email Type Code | Single Value (w/ Prompt) |

> Once the source format has been added and custom fields and prompts created as necessary, you will be able to upload a CSV data file from Axiom and map the custom fields and prompts.

## Step 3: Remap settings

The remap settings of the source format tell Slate how to process the data for the uploaded files. As with other standard source formats, standard fields have been pre-mapped, but you can adjust these standard mappings.

1. Return to the **Axiom HE Banner to Slate Import source format**.
2. Select **Edit Mappings**
  1. In the **Field Mappings** stage review and update/map additional items including the fields created in Step 2 and make any desired changes.
  2. Update the mapping:
    - If you created custom fields, add the mappings for these fields.
    - Map the source fields to the custom fields you created in the previous step.
    - Confirm and customize any destination field settings as desired.
3. Select **Edit Prompt Value Mappings**
  1. You may use *Append Values* to map the possible source values prior to receiving them in the data.
4. Add **Field Fusions** and **Static Mappings** as needed.
5. Select **Review.**Check for any warnings or errors. Update the mappings if necessary.
6. Once you are satisfied with the Remap settings, use the breadcrumb navigation to return to the source format's landing page.
7. Select **Edit**.
8. Set **Remap Active**to **Active.**
9. Select **Save.**
