    Field Description
    Data

    Data source

    You have selected a Table data source in Create a geomap data visualization.
    Metric
    Label Label of the metric. By default it is the same as the name of the data source.
    Select an aggregation Computational method for aggregating data. The default is Count, which displays the number of records selected.
    Note:
    If you select Count Distinct, only unique records are counted. For example, you want to generate a report with a distinct number of users who have one or more of the roles in a given list of roles. Users with more than one role would be counted twice unless you use Count Distinct.
    Field Field to apply the metric to, for Average, Sum, or Count Distinct aggregations. You may further be able to aggregate on fields from extended tables.

    The data is shown in a format that matches the field type. For example, if you select an integer field, such as the Priority field, the data is expressed as a number. If you select a duration field, such as Business duration on the Incident table, the aggregated data is expressed in days, hours, and minutes.

    If function fields were created in Report Designer for the table, they are available in the dropdown list. For more information, see Report on function fields.
    Format values Select to open the Formatting values dialog. For more information, see Value formatting in reports.

    Field for [table]

    Select a field that is in a geomap for map sources. By default, the fields you can select point to the Location [cmn_location] table, such as Assigned to.Location. You must select a reference field that points to a table, like Location, that has an associated entry in the Map sources [viz_map_source] table. If only one field on the main level references a location table, this field is selected by default.

    For more information, including how to create map sources for geomaps, see Map sources for geomap data visualizations.

    Show filter icon Option to show the filter icon and the number of filters impacting the visualization. If a filter is not selected to apply to a visualization, the icon does not show. Toggle off to hide the filter icon and number of filters applied.
