For Generic Tile the source object available will be called 'File'

The process will make a suggestion from the available Destination Datastores — select a Folder Datastore

The mapping will be applied automatically and is for a binary file (showing default properties as columns).

Run a test process by using the Tile that is shown in your Project Dashboard.

Drag a file into the tile and check that the process executes successfully (on the Activity Page).

Nice work! — you have mapped the Tile to its destination, all that remains is to [share the Tile with your Data Providers](https://eightwire.io/knowledge-base/share-a-tile-datastore.md)
