You need to be in edit mode in order to create new Geo map. Click on "Edit" in top report menu to activate edit mode.

Geo data needs to be defined prior to the map view development.

Geo maps allow you to visualize Indicators on the interactive maps.

To add a new Geo map hover over free place and click on Map view type. The Create map chart dialog box will appear.

  1. Enter name of the new map.
  2. Select and edit Indicators displayed in the map - continue by Displaying Indicators.

When a new map is created, it does not display any data. You have to add drill down path to complete the view setup. Drill down path defines which attribute will be used to cetegorize and position data on the map.

Example: The most common drill downs associated with Geo maps include Country, Region or City. When Country attribute is selected:

  • Indicators are grouped according particular country.
  • Values are placed to proper position corresponding with country location.

Drill Down Path

You can specify drill down path from Chart settings. To access dialog:

  1. click on add drill down to complete the view setup link in the created view.
  2. enter Map chart settings dialog from the toolbox and click Add drill down path.

Chart settings dialog allows you to:

  • Specify Drill down to be used for aggregating and categorizing indicator's values.
  • Select Place definition for proper positioning and visualization of data.
  • Manage places definitions - continue by Managing GEO Data.
  • Setup Limit for members in the drill down path. Displayed memebers depend on current sorting setup.

There is a very thin connection between drill down and place definition. While drill down maintains indicators values and their categorization, place definition keeps pairs of location identification and its coordinates. BellaDati automatically connects attribute's members with places and therefore enables their proper positioning.

You should always select only attributes which can be associated with an existing Place definition. In case of attribute with no related Geo data, indicators will not be properly displayed.

Drill down option

Drill down option allows you to define:

  1. how displayed indicators will be grouped and categorized.
  2. how data will be visualized on the map.

Place definition option

Place definition option is used to associate selected drill down with Geo data.

Select Place definition according to:

  1. Drill down path you selected.
  2. Style of visualization you want to apply (point vs. region).

Each Place definition includes pair on place identification and its coordinates.

Coordinates can be represented as:

  • Points. In point definition, location is identified by pair of values representig exact longitude and latitute.
  • Regions In region definition, area is restricted with polygon, composed of set of longitude and latitude values.

For more information about Place definition continue by Managing GEO Data.
