Overview

A Raster Map is an image where every zone is defined by a unique colour type. This is used by Yellowfin to detect each unique area of the map and substitute colours based on data in your report.

...

1. To load a Raster Map Image, ensure that your image has unique colour for every region required.
2. Ensure that you have reference code setup for your map data. E.g. For the example in Yellowfin you have a country reference code defined by ISO code. These ISO codes will be linked to each zone.
3. Similar to loading an image click the add link, provide a name and select map type.
4. You will now see a Map details section. For a basic Map you can leave the reference type as None.
5. In the layer section you will have to load the actual image you want to use. Maps support multiple layers for the same map. For example you could have a layer for country or region which uses the same world outline.
   1. On the layer choose the name and description for the image layer that you are loading
   2. Browse and upload the map you want to load.
   3. Choose layer as the layer type.
   4. Choose the zone reference type. This is used to link the zones to specific reference code values.
   5. For each colour select the appropriate reference code value.
6. Click Save to save your Raster map.
