The block of lines defining the mapping (first block in the datacard) contains one or more rows of the form

- **shapes *process* *channel* *file* *histogram* *[histogram_with_systematics]* **
```
shapes process channel file histogram [histogram_with_systematics]
```

In this line,

- ***process*** is any one the process names, or **\*** for all processes, or **data_obs** for the observed data;
- ***channel*** is any one the process names, or **\*** for all channels;
- *file*, *histogram* and *histogram_with_systematics* identify the names of the files and of the histograms within the file, after making some replacements (if any are found):
- **$PROCESS** is replaced with the process name (or "**data_obs**" for the observed data);
- **$CHANNEL** is replaced with the channel name;
- **$SYSTEMATIC** is replaced with the name of the systematic + (**Up, Down**);
- **$MASS** is replaced with the chosen (Higgs boson) mass value that is passed as a command-line option when running the tool
- `process`is any one the process names, or `*` for all processes, or `data_obs` for the observed data;
- `channel`is any one the process names, or `*` for all channels;
- `file`, `histogram` and `histogram_with_systematics` identify the names of the files and of the histograms within the file, after making some replacements (if any are found):
- `$PROCESS` is replaced with the process name (or "`data_obs`" for the observed data);
- `$CHANNEL` is replaced with the channel name;
- `$SYSTEMATIC` is replaced with the name of the systematic + (`Up`, `Down`);
- `$MASS` is replaced with the chosen (Higgs boson) mass value that is passed as a command-line option when running the tool

In addition, user-defined keywords can be used. Any word in the datacard **$WORD** will be replaced by **VALUE** when including the option `--keyword-value WORD=VALUE`. This option can be repeated multiple times for multiple keywords.
