# Data Map Variables

### Datamap Variables Review

The first step in the Build Page is to **review the datamap variables** - these are the variables extracted from your data file (e.g., `.sav`) and aligned against the questionnaire.

* Variables that require manual review are marked with a **red warning icon**.
* For these, use:
  * :thumbsup: **Thumbs Up** to approve
  * :thumbsdown: **Thumbs Down** to reject
* Variables that don’t require review will not have any warning icons.

You can also **export the entire variable list** into a sheet for documentation or offline review.

Once you've completed the variable review, click **Continue** to proceed to the next step - **Validation Checks**.
