# Set choice action for reference field imports

# Set choice action for reference field imports {#ariaid-title1}

The LDAP transform map determines how fields in the Import Set table map to fields in
existing tables such as Incident or User.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

If the LDAP transform map updates a field in the import set table, the integration automatically creates a new record whenever there is a new record in the LDAP data. If the LDAP transform map updates a reference field storing data from another table, the administrator can choose to create, ignore, or reject new LDAP records.

For example, if the integration receives a new department record that
does not match any existing department, you may want to update all of the other LDAP
record fields without creating a new department record in the instance. The
transform map allows you to set the record creation options for each reference
field.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem LDAPTransform Maps.
2. In the Field Maps related list, select one of the following actions from the Choice action field:  
   * create -- creates a new reference field record if a matching record does not exist.
   * ignore -- ignores new records in the reference field and completes processing of all other fields in the transform map.
   * reject -- stops the transform for the entire record.

   {#t_SetChoiceAction__ul_ChoiceActions}  
   Note:  
   The field map only displays the Choice action field for reference fields.
