## Introduction

The **null value** transform function is used to replace the value of a source field with null.  &#x20;

## Adding a null value 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 **null value** from the **other** category:

**Step 5**\
Click the **add field** button:

**Step 6**\
Click in **source fields** and select the source field to be used for this transform:

**Step 7**\
Accept your changes (twice).

**Step 8**\
Save the transform. You'll notice that the transform icon is updated to indicate that a transform function is present for the mapping row - for example:
