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 maps allow you to visualize Indicators on the interactive map.

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

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

  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 position data on the map.

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

Drill down option

Drill down option defines:

  1. how displayed indicators are aggregated (in case of SUM function) and categorized.
  2. how data are visualized and positioned on the map.

Example:

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.

Select Place definition according to:
