Using uptake maps

Learn how to show resident uptake on a map of your LGA.

Written by CR Support

Uptake maps show the physical location of resident orders on a map of your LGA.

Whatever data you have filtered in your Customer Order screen is available in map view by clicking the Show map button on the top right of the screen.


To show actual uptake make sure you have fiiltered your Customer Orders with:


Overal Status = Dispatched / Delivered / Approved

Click Show Maps and the default view will appear like this :


Click Open map controls to adjust the map settings and to generate an image to download.

Controls

The map controls are a little fiddly (it was built for our in-house teams!) but once you get the hang of it they are pretty simple and most settings won’t need to be tweaked more than once.


Zoom: Hold the COMMAND button then use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in/out of the map or you can double click the left button for zoom in and double click right for zoom out.

Move Map: Click and drag the map

Map Icon : Choose from a number of different icons to represent a resident recruitment.

Icon Size: Adjust the Icon if the dots are too small or large.


LGA and Division visible? Toggles the selected labels on or off

Map labels visible? Toggles labels for suburbs, roads and other details on or off.

Council boundary visible? toggles an outline and shading of your LGA an or off.

Council divisions visible? Toggles council LGA divisions (if active) on or off.



Once you are happy with what you see on screen you can choose an image size to export to meet your needs (screen resolution for presenttaions are commonly 1920×1080 or 2560×1440 for Windows laptops and 2880 × 1800 / 3024 x 1964 for Mac laptops). You can even go much higher for print if you wish.

You should then click Resize map to place your LGA centred within that size image.

Toggle controls off for a cleaner image without UI interface elements.

Then click Regenerate Image.

Finally click Download image and save the image to your local drive for use.
