Configuring Map Components for Build Your Own Reports

When you add a map component to a report, you must use a data set that contains fields with degrees of latitude and longitude and physical items that can be located on a map.

Before You Begin

  • To build and deploy reports, your CommCell user account requires a role with the Add Report permission and an association with the CommCell entity.

For more information on users, permissions, and associations, see User Administration and Security - Overview.

  2. To open a report where you have already added a data set, at the top of the page, click Worldwide Reports > Report Manager , and on the Reports tab, next to the Report Name under Actions, click Edit.
  3. Optional: If your report has multiple pages, click the tab for the page that you want to edit.
  4. Drag Map Component to the Drop components to build the report box.
