Index lists are used to create vector or matrix blocks.
An index list contains a set of (named) indices. New index lists can be created - for example “Organisms” or “Locations” - or the built in index lists can be used.
The most used index list is the Materials index list (see below).

Select the index list you wish to map to from the drop down list.
For each index of the target index list, select which of the indices in the edited index list to map to by clicking in the field next to the index.
