Once a questionnaire and dataset has been documented, it then goes through a process called mapping. This connects the documented questions to dataset variables, and both to topics.

Archivist (previously Mapper) provides a graphical user interface to simplify the task of connecting questions, variables and topics, automatically assigning mappings where possible and maintaining constraints.

For sequences Whole sections of the questionnaire can be linked to a topic by adding a topic to a sequence. Note: This will only map questions were the direct parent is the sequence, if the question has a condition as their parent, this will not be mapped.

If there are questions which are already mapped to topics (either added or inherited) which are the first child of the sequence and they are all the same, then the sequence topic is available to update. Where the topics are not the same the option will not display. If you change the sequence topic it will change those first child questions to that, unless there is a conflict with the variable. Note, if you apply a topic to the sequence, it will display as 'saving' then 'saved' but yuu will need to refresh the page to see the topic display.
