Add Map Chart Categories in Admin

Last updated: June 21, 2023

The Map Chart Dashboard widget allows you to display a chart based on data from either a selected saved search or the dashboard post list widget.

Before configuring the Map Chart widget on your Dashboard, you need to add the countries, states, or regions you want to include in the widget on the Map Chart Categories page in the Admin module. 

These preparations require that you are Superuser Admin with access to the Admin module. If you need help, contact Wide Narrow Support.

Prerequisites

For the Map Chart widget to work, the following must be in place:

• The portal taxonomy must include a "geography" or "market" field with specific countries or states. 
• A portal Administrator must add the countries or states you want to include in the Map Chart widget in Admin > Map Chart categories.

Before configuring the Map Chart widget on your Dashboard, you need to make preparations on the Map Chart Categories page in the Admin module.

1. Go to Admin > Map Chart categories.
   
   
2. Click on the "New map chart category" button.
