Creating a Report Using Maps

Updated
Note: This article describes the legacy Reports app. You can still open reports you saved there, but new reports are built in the current Reports app. To start one, click Create new... in the left-hand sidebar, then Report. See Create a Report.

You can create a report directly from the Maps application.

Steps to Create a Report:

  1. In the upper-right corner, click the Menu button (☰).
  2. Click Create Report.
  3. In the right-hand sidebar, select the survey you want to create a report for from the survey dropdown.
    • The most recently viewed survey on the map will be selected by default, but you can switch to any other survey from the list.
  4. Select a pre-made report from the Topics dropdown.
    • Choose the Essentials or Comprehensive report for an overview.
    • Select a topical report (e.g., Age or Race) for a more focused analysis.
    • Note: You can modify your report selections later.
  5. In the upper-right corner of the map, choose the geography level you’re interested in.
  6. Use the Geography Selection Tool at the top of the map to select geographies of interest.
  7. Select geographies on the map:
    • Use the Point Tool to click on a geography to add or remove it from your selection.
    • You can include multiple geography levels in a single report.
    • Tip: Clicking CLEAR ALL will remove all selected geographies.
  8. Click Create to generate your report.

Once your report is created, you can modify your data selections and geography choices as needed.

Tip: Keep in mind that you will be able to edit your data and geography selections after creating your report.
