  There are 3 mandatory data files, demography, visit and dose which must be
  mapped and loaded into ADMIN UI for any dataset, as the minimum requirement to
  visualise data in VA HUB.

# Mapping mandatory data files

## Mapping tables

These tables detail the fields required to map demography, visit and dose data

There are mandatory and non-mandatory fields that can be mapped, the mandatory fields must be mapped in order to create the basic visualisation in VA HUB. In addition [aggregation functions](../../data-loading/data-loading-overview/general-overview#3.-steps-to-map-and-load-data) will apply to some of the fields in these tables

## Demography data&#x20;

This is the first of the mandatory files which must be mapped.  Mandatory and non-mandatory fields apply as will aggregation functions&#x20;

**TRAINING VIDEO:** This training video shows an example of how to map patient demography data

## Visit data&#x20;

This is the second of the mandatory files which must be mapped, again mandatory and non-mandatory fields apply as will aggregation functions

**TRAINING VIDEO:** This training video shows an example of how to map patient visit data

**Visit Data**

## Dose data

This is the last of the mandatory files which must be mapped, again mandatory and non-mandatory fields apply as will aggregation functions

One thing to note when mapping the dose data file is that although the data field Dose unit is non-mandatory this field should be mapped against the source data file to make the data more meaningful

**TRAINING VIDEO:** This training video shows an example of how to map patient dose data
