Adding Map Widgets
You can add map widgets to any reports that live within the My Reports section. Simply click the pencil icon in the top right corner of the report to open the edit view, then follow the below steps:
From the Edit Report view, select the Add Widget icon in the top right hand corner.
Next, select Maps from the widget dropdown list.
The Map Widget will then be added to the bottom of your report dashboard for you to customize based on your goals.
Editing Map Widget Data
You can customize the dimension and metrics displayed in your map widget by editing the widget data.
From the Edit Report view, select the Edit pencil icon in the top right corner of the Map Widget to open the Map Widget modal.
Use the Data tab in the Map Widget modal to select your desired Dimension. The Dimension represents how your metric will be pivoted. Available dimensions include World, United States of America, DMAs, or State level.
After defining your Dimension, select your desired Metric. The Metric represents what values are being shown on the map. Common metrics include Spend, Impressions, Visits, and Conversions, among others. You can view all available metrics from the Glossary of Reporting Metrics.
Finally, you can use the Portaling option to instantly chart any data point or metric from a Data Widget onto your Map Widget.
Once complete, save your changes by clicking Done.
Tip: Portaling allows you to click on any data widget on this report and plot the data instantly on this chart. Clicking on the data widget again will reset the chart to its default metric. This is a great way to get a varied visualization of performance across a variety of charts and widgets.
