# Mapping parent nodes

## Concept

Mapping parent nodes means mapping a node containing child nodes from the source document to a similar node in the target document. These nodes are usually repetitive in an XML document and can represent a record or a collection of several records. This type of binding lets the target document recognise several records and different relations.

## Setup

When launching the wizard from the assist edit on the mapper, the options are limited to parent nodes on the source document.
