# Playbook activity state-mapping rules

# Playbook activity state-mapping rules {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Use activity state-mapping rules to control which activity state is shown in a card for
a given experience status record.

Activity state-mapping rules are required for each Experience Status Table. These rules
determine how to update the experience status record when a playbook user updates an activity
state, such as completing an activity.

Out-of-the-box Global Playbook Experience includes a default rule set for the
sys_flow_data table. This rule set is enough for most playbook
activities, but additional rules can be created for custom tables if needed.  
Activity state-mapping rules for a given Experience Status Table are unique for each Playbook Experience and can be accessed in the related tabs by clicking Status Mapping. Figure 1. Status Mapping tab

* Experience Status to Activity State rules
* Activity State to Experience Status rules
