Legacy map

Use a legacy map when you want to see patterns in your data by geography.

For example, this legacy map visualization shows revenue by retailer country with the darker color indicating higher revenue.

To create a map visualization, your view must contain a defined geography dimension.

The geography dimension must contain elements that are recognizable as geographic entities. To determine if a dimension is mappable, Planning Analytics Workspace analyzes a sample of members in the defined geography dimension, looking for recognizable place names. If 80% or more of the members in the geography dimension are recognized as geographic entities, a map is generated.

For more information on the languages and geographic entities supported in map visualizations, see Map reference info.
