1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionBusiness Rules.
2. From the list of available business rules, locate and open the Sync Data from Execution to Alignment rule.
3. From the context menu (![Context menu icon.]()), perform an Insert and Stay operation on this business rule.  
   If you have not enabled the Insert and Stay action in your ServiceNow instance, see [Allow insert options on records](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=advanced-form-administration&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
4. On the business rule form, edit the following fields.  
   {#create-a-bussiness-rule-ppw__table_hpg_yjj_hmb__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Unique name for the business rule. For example, if your new table map is to map demands, name this rule as Sync Demands with Portfolio Planning. |
