# Custom boolean transform function
## Introduction
The **custom boolean** transform function is used to map a value of `true` or `false` to a target field.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you've added/updated a [map shape](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-shapes/standard-shapes/map-shape.md) before, you'll be used to selecting a **source** field and a **target** field. However, when a **custom boolean** transformation is used we don't select a **source** field - the **custom boolean** transformation is our data source.
{% endhint %}
## Adding a custom boolean transform
**Step 1**\
In your process flow, access settings for your map shape:
**Step 2**\
Select the **add transform** button for the required mapping rule - for example:
**Step 3**\
Click the **add transform** button:
**Step 4**\
Click in the **name** field to access a list of all available transform functions, then select **custom boolean**:
**Step 5**\
Move down to the **value** field and select your required true/false value - for example:
**Step 6**\
Accept your changes:
...then save the transformation:
**Step 7**\
Now you can select a target field in the usual way - for example:
...then:
...then:
**Step 8**\
Once your mapping is complete, the row should be displayed without a source field - for example:
From here you can save changes or add more mapping rules as needed. Next time the process flow runs, the selected **custom boolean** value will be mapped to the given target field.
