Create a CHIPS Map

Edit online

About this task

When you create a new map, you can either manually create a CHIPS layout or you can use a wizard that creates a layout for you based on the CHIPS standard. The wizard saves you time and effort and minimizes the risk of having an invalid standard format.

Note: Prior to creating a CHIPS map, you must have installed the Sterling Standards Database for CHIPS.

To create a CHIPS map:

  3. If you are translating from CHIPS, in the Input Format window (Create a New Data Format Using this Standard option) select CHIPS and click Messages. If you are translating from another format, select that format and continue to the next screen.
    Note: If you select CHIPS Supervisory Responses and click Messages, you must select the version (Format Version 02 is the only choice available) and a message.
