How do I create a geographic map of my Users' locations?

Once you have created your Geographic Map, it can be saved as a new Report or appended to an existing Report in the same way any other standard Report Element could be.

Requirements

  • You must have been collecting Geographic data for users by checking the "Enable Countries (and Geographic Reporting)" checkbox under Community Tools > User Account Settings.
  • Create Reports or Manage Reports Role

Notes

  • The same Report can be created at the Project level to generate a Geographic Map of your Project Users or some sub-set of them.
  • Once you have created your Geographic Map, it can be saved as a new Report or appended to an existing Report in the same way any other standard Report Element could be.
  • A Geographic Report can also be created within a Project for a specific Feedback Type (Reporting > Select desired Feedback Type instead or Users). Following the same steps given above to create the Geographic Map, you can see where your Feedback Submitters are located. Need to know how many Critical Bugs came from Users in New York?
