+# Enabled
+
+The `enabled` parameter allows you to control whether OpenSearch parses the contents of a field. This parameter can be applied to the top-level mapping definition and to object fields.
+
+The `enabled` parameter accepts the following values. 
+
+Parameter | Description
+:--- | :---
+`true` | The field is parsed and indexed. Default is `true`.
+`false` | The field is not parsed or indexed but is still retrievable from the `_source` field. When `enabled` is set to `false`, OpenSearch stores the field's value in the `_source` field but does not index or parse its contents. This can be useful for fields that you want to store but do not need to search, sort, or aggregate on.
+
+---
+
+## Example: Using the `enabled` parameter
+
+In the following example request, the `session_data` field is disabled. OpenSearch stores its contents in the `_source` field but does not index or parse them:
+
+```json
+PUT my-index-002
+{
+  "mappings": {
+    "properties": {
+      "user_id": {
+        "type": "keyword"
+      },
+      "last_updated": {
+        "type": "date"
+      },
+      "session_data": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "enabled": false
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
