Territory Layer

The Territory Layer displays a choropleth map—a map where regions (such as countries or states) are shaded based on a value. This is ideal for datasets without coordinates, but instead containing country names or region/state names.
After loading your data into a layout and choosing Territory Layer, you can access the Territory Layer Settings from the Settings tab.

How to Visualize Your Data

To activate the Territory Layer:

  1. Go to the Dataset setting.
  2. Select a Value from your data. This value will be used to color regions.
  3. Choose the correct Region setting:
    • If your data uses country names, select World.
    • If your data uses states/regions, choose the corresponding country.

Once set, your data will be visualized across the map regions accordingly.

Territory Layer Settings

Customize the appearance of the territory map with the following options:

  • Region
  • Defines the scope of your map:
    • World – for country-based data.
    • Selected Country – for state or regional data within a country.
  • Show Only
    • On – Only display regions that exist in your dataset.
    • Off – Show all regions, with regions lacking data shown in the default color.
  • Default Color
  • The background color for regions not included in your dataset.
  • Border Width
  • Adjust the thickness of borders between regions.
  • Fill Gradient
  • Create a color gradient using up to four color intervals to represent value ranges across regions.
  • Fill Opacity
  • Controls the transparency of region fills (0 = fully transparent, 1 = fully opaque).

Tips

  • Make sure region names in your data match standard naming conventions (e.g., "United States", not "USA").
  • Use the Show Only option to declutter the map when focusing on specific regions.
