# Step 2 - Map the Source Data Fields to Paradigm Fields

This page contains instructions on the second step of creating a new Import Profile using the Import Wizard

1. After uploading the data source file from the [STEP 1](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/importing-data/workflows/import-wizard/create-a-new-import-profile/step-1-upload-the-data-source-file.md) instructions, click the **Select Object** dropdown menu to choose the exact group data/table or Record Type in Paradigm that will match your source file. e.g. choose **Program** if the data that you want to import are base course data, **Student** if the source file contains student data or information, etc.
2. After selecting an object, proceed with the data mapping.

**BE ADVISED**:

This step must be taken with the highest level of care and accuracy as this will determine how and where your data are saved in the system.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**:

If you are only doing updates on selected fields, only set the **Paradigm Field** column of the equivalent column name in your file that you want to be updated.

In the example below, only the **Status** column is mapped to a **Paradigm Field** if the intention is to only update the student status.

3. After you’ve mapped all the fields, click the **SAVE COLUMN BINDINGS** button to proceed to the [next ](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/importing-data/workflows/import-wizard/create-a-new-import-profile/step-3-match-the-external-values-to-paradigm-values.md)step: [Match the External Values to Paradigm Values](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/importing-data/workflows/import-wizard/create-a-new-import-profile/step-3-match-the-external-values-to-paradigm-values.md)
