H.1. About this Section

This section describes how to publish and populate a multiple geography

InstantAtlas dynamic report. It is assumed that the reader has prior

knowledge of how to use the InstantAtlas Publisher and how to create data

files with the Excel Data Manager. If you need information on these topics

please refer to section ‘B. The InstantAtlas Desktop Publisher’ and section

‘E. The InstantAtlas Excel Data Manager’.

As of InstantAtlas version 6.1 it is possible to publish InstantAtlas reports

that thematically map data for multiple base geographies. It is possible to

view data for the different base geographies without having to reload the

whole dynamic report.

The Single Map, Double Map, Area Profile, Election Results and Bubble

Plot templates allow you to have up to ten different base geographies.

However, you can only display one at a time and you switch between them

using a ‘Geography’ drop down menu (Figure 168).

Figure 168

The Double Map Time Series template allows you to have two different

base geographies in the two maps (

Figure 169), or the same geography in both maps.

Figure 169

The Double Base Layer Template is a variant of the Double Map Time

Series Template and allows you to see two base geographies together in

one map (Figure 170).

The HTML templates allowing up to 10 different base geographies

are: Single Map, Population Pyramid, Double Map, Area Profile,

Election Results, Scatter Plot and Advanced Bubble Plot.
