The 'Mapping' Column will show what the services are mapped as (ie: Accommodation, activities). If all services are mapped, a green proceed option will appear on the top right-hand side.
If there are services that still need to be mapped, the 'Mapping' Column will show 'Map Now' and there will be an orange Skip option on the top right-hand side.
