Mapping a dataset to an operational object
Every operational object includes a data input panel in the Setup tab that is used to identify how input variables are used in an operational object.
Most primary data input panels contain two tabs: the Mapping tab (where dataset columns are mapped to an object’s inputs) and a sort order tab (allows sorting of dataset columns). The Table, NONMEM, PsN, R, SAS, and SigmaPlot objects only have a Mappings panel.
Map a dataset or other worksheet to almost any item in the Setup tab list using the instructions listed below. Note that the R and SAS Shell objects must have a script mapped to them before their inputs are defined. The PsN Shell object must have at least one model mapped to it before the input can be defined.
Using data mappings panel
In the data mappings panel, click 
(Show Sources icon).
In the dialog, click the (+) sign next to the Data folder.
Select a dataset and click Select.
Or
Use the pointer to drag a dataset from the Data folder to the Mappings panel.
Using Diagram tab
1. Select the Workflow object in the Object Browser.
2. In the Diagram tab, click 
to expand the object box.
3. Click the (+) sign next to Inputs.
4. Drag the dataset from the Data folder to the primary data input.
The line between the External Sources box and the object box represents the data mapping.
Using “Send To” menu option
1. Select the object in the Object Browser to return to the Setup tab.
2. Right-click an imported worksheet and select Send To > <object group> > <operational object>.
The Send To command inserts the new object into the Workflow with the right-clicked worksheet already mapped as the input source.
