If you're here, that's really exciting because someone has shared an area with you in Vision. Welcome to an entirely new, simple, and informative way of viewing geographic data; we're confident you'll be impressed!
Your shared view has three main parts to it:
- The detail level menu.
- The map.
- The demographic information pane.
The detail level menu
All shared areas provide at least two levels of detail: a summary of the shared area and at least one more detailed level, broken down into smaller geographic areas.
The currently-selected detail level is shown in green, and you can toggle detail levels as much as you like by clicking on them.
The map
The map displays the boundary of the shared area and, when appropriate, the boundaries for all areas within a selected detail level. Labels for all areas are also displayed.
The attribute information pane
When someone has shared an area with you, they often include statistics known as attributes, which describe the market opportunity within the shared area, and these are displayed here.
To apply heat mapping, make sure you've selected the more detailed geography, and then click on an attribute in the pane to select it. Dark red areas indicate the areas with the highest levels of opportunity, which decrease as the colour transitions to lighter red and becomes transparent. Light to dark blue areas indicate areas with less opportunity. The actual level of opportunity is shown in the labels for each detailed area. To turn heat mapping off, simply click the selected attribute again.
