The steps to be followed to create a **property tax** index for the national dashboard are exemplified here.

1. Open Kibana
2. Create an index using the following query -

   `1PUT pt-national-dashboard 2{}`
3. Add corresponding field mappings for the created index -

```
 PUT pt-national-dashboard/_mapping/nss
