Markets Map

The Markets Map visualization is a map that displays key markets in a country or region.

Use the following guidelines to create a Markets Map visualization.

_{* = typically required for reports}

Standard Visualization Fields

Internal Title: This field is optional and will not show up in the report. You may use it to help you quickly identify a specific visualization in your report in the CMS.

*Alt Text: Provide a brief description of what the visualization shows. Learn more about writing alt text for FEWS NET visualizations.

*Show Figure Label: If the visualization is referred to in the text of the report and needs a figure number (i.e. Figure 1), make sure this toggle is turned on. Keep this toggle off for visualizations being used in country and region pages.

*Pick a visualization type: Choose markets Map.

Visualization Specific Fields

*Data Selection Fields

Choose either one dataset or one or more data series.

Data series: You can select multiple data series by holding down the CTRL button.

Dataset: You can use the search box to search datasets by user name and title.

*Country/Region Fields

Select an item from one of these dropdown boxes. Do not select both a country and a geographic group.

Select a country: Select a country if you are creating a country report.

Select a geographic group: Select a geographic group if you are creating a regional report.

Auto-Generated Fields

All of these fields will be automatically generated but can be overridden if desired.

Visualization title: The auto-generated title will be formatted as follows:

Disclaimer: This is blank by default for this chart. However, it can be used to add a custom disclaimer when required (e.g., to explain missing data).

Source Attribution: The auto-generated source attribution is a compilation of the data source organization names stored in FDW for the data used to create the map.

Generate the Visualization

*⁺Generate URL: Click this button once you have filled out the fields above to generate the visualization. The system will provide a thumbnail of the visualization and a URL where you can preview the visualization. Note: It may take a minute to generate the thumbnail image. Make sure you allow the thumbnail to load before saving the visualization.

The system will automatically populate the remaining fields: Data Visualization Type, Primary URL, Image URL, and JSON Configuration. These SHOULD NOT be edited.

PDF Formatting Options

Show full width in PDF: By default, this toggle should be turned off. You may want to show a visualization in full width if you have a very detailed chart that needs to be larger than 50% of the page width.

Float Position: Sets the orientation data visualizations that are not full width. Defaults to Right. For side-by-side images, set the first image to Left. For full width images, set to None.
