This is the 3rd step that comes after the boundary data collection. Cross hierarchy mapping happens in case a child has a relationship with more than 2 parents. This double relationship between the child and parents could happen between different hierarchies as well.
For example: In Admin level boundary hierarchy a mohalla M1(child) could be a part of 2 Wards(parent) W1 and W2. In such a case a single Mohalla(child) has to be mapped to 2 Wards(parent).

In case of any doubt, please reach out to the person who has shared this template with you to discuss and clear your doubts.
Firstly Identify all the child levels which have a relation with more than 2 parent boundary types and their hierarchy types as well.
Fill up the boundary hierarchy (names/ codes) types in place of boundary type 1/2.
Then along with the codes start filling in one by one with the proper mapping between every child and parent.
The Sr. No should be in an incremental order for every new child level.
Prepare a new table for every different parent-child relation.
Verify the data once again by going through the checklist and taking care of each and every point mentioned in the checklist.
The checklist is a set of activities to be performed one the data is filled into a template to ensure data type, size, and format of data is as per the expectation. These activities have been divided into 2 groups as given below.
This checklist covers all the activities which are common across the entities.

Make sure that each and every point in this reference list has been taken care of
This checklist covers the activities which are specific to the entity. There is no entity-specific checklist activity applicable here.
