The US Map Component

You can view the component in the relevant page in the Dashboard.

To enjoy the capabilities of the US Map component:

• The KPI or Metric must have only one breakdown, by State. If the KPI or Metric has more than one breakdown, for example, by Organization, the US Map component does not display data.
• You must add a KPI View component to the page. The US Map component is automatically wired to the KPI View. This means that when you click a KPI in the KPI View, its breakdowns values are displayed in the US Map component.
• The names of the States you are using for the KPI or Metric Breakdown per State must have standard names corresponding to the States used in the map.

In a Dashboard page, add the KPI View component and the relevant US Map component. For details on how to add a component to a page, see the procedure below.

To add a component to a page that is already formatted:

1. In the Dashboard, select the relevant page (click the Page Gallery button if the page you want does not already appear in the Dashboard).
2. Click the Components button.

3. In the Component Gallery page that opens, click or double-click the component to place it in the layout area, or select the component and drag it to an area on the page.

   Note that double-click only works if you open the Component Gallery from the layout itself and not from the toolbar.

   • If the target area is hidden by the Component Gallery dialog box, click the Component Gallery dialog box title bar and drag it to another location on your screen.
   • If you are dragging a new component to a target area that already has a component defined, drag the new component to the title bar of the target area, and not to the part of the component that is colored white.

4. Close the Component Gallery page. For user interface details, see Component Gallery and Component Categories.

5. In the component, click the Configure Component button or click here in Click Here to configure in the center of the component.

6. In the component Filter dialog box that opens, select the information you want to display and click OK.

   The component displays the required information.

For more information, see Page Layout and Components.

In the Dashboard page you created:

2. In the Dashboard page, in the KPI View component, click the relevant KPI or Metric.

   If the KPI has a Breakdown by State, the US Map component displays the color corresponding to the value of the KPI or Metric for the State.

   

   If the Metric has a Breakdown by State, the US Map component displays the State with a blue background when the Metric has a value for the State or gray when there is no data for the State.

   

   Note that when you click the KPI or Metric in the KPI View, the corresponding list of KPI Breakdowns per State is displayed in the KPI View component.

   

3. In the US Map component, hover above the relevant State to display a tooltip that provides details about the KPI or Metric.

   

   The US Map component legend provides details about the meaning of the colors:

   

4. Click the relevant state to open the KPI/Metric Breakdown for the relevant state in Explorer.
