# Map and add fields

### Map your import fields to project fields in Edit mapping

After you [add an import](broken://pages/E13K3gaPlsHoRLZ6lP2m) to your project, Channable maps your product data and you are navigated to **Setup.**

To ensure that your product data fields are recognized by Channable, you need to map your fields in **Setup > Import > \[Added import] > Edit mapping**.

If you have warnings in **Edit mapping** about the fields `id`, `link`, `image_link`, or `price`, this means that Channable cannot map your import data to these fields. It is likely that your import field names are named differently because Channable creates project fields based on your import field names.

We recommend changing the names of the project fields so that your fields are mapped correctly and so that there are no warnings.

Follow these steps to edit your project fields so that they have the recommended field names, using the `image_link` field (with the warning “Please map one field to **image\_link**”) as an example:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Find the import field

Find the field in your import fields that contains the product URL or link and check the name of the field. The field could be named “Image Src” or something similar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Edit the mapped project field

In the Project field column, find the corresponding mapped field (for example `image_src`) and click **Edit**. In the popup, rename the field to `image_link`. This is the recommended name for this field, as indicated in the warning.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and re-import

Click **Save and import**. Now the warning should no longer be showing because your import field “Image Src” is mapped to the project field `image_link`.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Instead of editing the project field `image_src`, you can add a new project field with the name `image_link`.
{% endhint %}

### Add a new project field

You can add new project fields for information that's not present in your import feed by following these steps:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Add project field

Go to **Setup > Project fields** and click **+ Add project field**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Name the new field

In the popup, give the new field a name.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can’t use capital letters or spaces in project field names. We recommend using an underscore (`_`) instead.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose a field type

Next, choose a type for the field.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Choose an accurate field type because the type determines how you can use that information in Channable. For example, when you [create rules](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/rules-in-channable.md), if you have a field with a date in it but in the import mapping the type is set to "Text", you cannot use the field in [date rules](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-conditions-if-in-rules/rule-conditions-dates.md). ['EAN' and 'Gtin'](broken://pages/5e11019f66897994875b3416d4533026b7a3b450) also have [rule limitations](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-conditions-if-in-rules/rule-condition-invalid-gtin-or-ean.md).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### List of values (optional)

If the field contains multiple values, check the box at **List of values**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and import

Click **Save and import**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Map the new field

[Map your new field](/get-started/getting-started/fields-in-channable/map-and-add-fields.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have the Channable [Insights plan](/account-billing/manage-your-subscription/channables-pricing-plans.md), the **Add/Edit project field** popup has an extra field for using [Profit on ad spend (POAS)](/manage-improve-product-data/insights/profit-on-ad-spend.md) and there is an extra column in **Setup > Project fields**. [Set up POAS](/manage-improve-product-data/insights/profit-on-ad-spend/how-to-set-up-profit-on-ad-spend.md) to gain insights into how much profit you are making on your ad campaigns.
