    1. Go to Search.

    2. Click the index where you want to create a child mapping.

    3. Click Edit.

    4. Expand Customize Index  Mappings.

    5. Point to an existing mapping and click +.

    6. Click insert child mapping.

    7. In the {} field, enter the name of a field in a document that contains a JSON object.

    8. (Optional) To only index the fields you add to the child mapping, select only index specified fields.

    9. (Optional) To set a different analyzer for the child mapping, in the Analyzer list, select an analyzer.

      You can select a default analyzer or create your own.

    10. Click OK.
