Distributing map files

In the first step of the Map Conversion Utility, you chose a location where to save the converted SMZ file. You may have also chosen to add the map to the Manage system for the Graphboard Template Chooser. If you chose to save to the Manage system, the map will be available to you in any IBM® SPSS® product that you run on the same computer.

To distribute the map to other users, you will need to send the SMZ to them. Those users can then use the Manage system to import the map. You can simply send the file whose location you specified in step 1. If you want to send a file that's in the Manage system, you first need to export it:

1. In the Template Chooser, click Manage...
2. Click the Map tab.
3. Select the map you want to distribute.
4. Click Export... and choose a location where you want to save the file.

Now you can send the physical map file to other users. Users will need to reverse this process and import the map into the Manage system.
