K.1. About this Section
This section describes how to set up and create reports using the
InstantAtlas Election Results template. It is assumed that you have
already read section ‘B. The InstantAtlas Desktop Publisher’, section
‘C. The InstantAtlas Designer’ and section ‘E. The InstantAtlas Excel Data
Manager’.
K.2. The Election Results Template
The Election Results template enables you to map interactively the results
of elections based on winning parties. If you publish with the
demonstration data file, when the map is clicked, election data appears in
three areas, as shown in Figure 183 below.
Figure 195
Overall results are contained in the Comparison Table at the upper right of
the report, while each area and its winning party are listed in the Table at
the bottom left. The Spine Chart on the right contains both electoral area
details and breakdowns of election data. End-users click on the map to
populate the Spine Chart with data.
The default layout of an Election Results (HTML Edition) template
(Figure 196) is very similar to the Flash equivalent with the exception that
the Table with results by area can be toggled over the Map using a
button.
