# Sample Mapping (Design Modes)

The sample mapping step is a validation step to ensure all experimental condition values are completely filled in.

In this step, a table of missing information will be displayed. You can perform the following actions:

- Create and update new experimental conditions (only in design modes; see the [Experimental Conditions documentation](/public/docs/experimental-conditions-overview-design-modes)).
- Update the values of the experimental conditions to fill in the missing information (using a file, a layout, from sample, or manually; see the [Execution Mode documentation on adding experimental condition values](/public/docs/experimental-conditions-overview-execution-mode#add-experimental-condition-values)).

For more information on this step, see the [Sample Mapping Execution Mode documentation](/public/docs/sample-mapping-execution-mode).

Continue designing the run by proceeding to the next step: [Sample Analysis](/public/docs/sample-analysis-design-modes). A confirmation message will appear; be sure you have filled in all the mandatory information before going to the next step.
