Click
the 'Table' icon if you wish to return to the Table View.
There
is a title located above the map telling you which indicator and date are being
mapped. There is also a legend beside the map that lists the area types
displayed in the map and the thematic classes. You can change the number of
thematic classes using the Number of Ranges drop down menu located below the
legend. Note that the actual number of thematic classes may be less than that
indicated in the Number of Ranges box if your advanced table only includes a
very small number of areas. You can also change the colour scheme using the
Colour Scheme drop down menu located below the legend. You can reverse the
colour scheme by checking the Reverse Shading checkbox.
The
toolbar located above the map gives access to tools for interacting with the
map. From left to right, the tools are the following:
·
Zoom to original map extent. Click this icon to return to
the original extent of the map.
·
Zoom in. Click the Zoom in icon and then click on the
location in the map you wish to zoom in to. To zoom to an area, click and hold
the mouse button while dragging a box around the area in the map that you wish
to zoom to.
·
Zoom out. Click the Zoom out icon and then click on the
location in the map you wish to zoom out from. To zoom out so that the
geography fills an area of a particular size, click and hold the mouse button
while dragging a box around the area in the map that you wish the geography to
fill.
·
Identify an area and its data value. Click the Identify
an area icon and then click an area in the map. The name of the area and its

You
can hold your mouse pointer over the icons in the toolbar to find out what the
tools do. Click an icon to use a tool. The icon for the active tool is
highlighted in yellow. To pan the map click the yellow arrows located around
the map border.
You
can display additional layers in map to help you make your selection. These are
listed below the map. Click a layer, or type of layer, and then click the
'Update Map' button. You can select multiple layers, or types of layer, by
holding down the 'Ctrl' button on your keyboard and clicking different layers.
Select None and then the 'Update Map' button if you wish to remove any
additional layers from the map.
Note
that advanced maps do not currently support thematic mapping for point
locations (e.g. schools) or the display of categorical (text) indicators.
A
link to a metadata summary is located at the bottom of the page. Click this to
access a page with links to metadata for the datasets and indicators included
in your advanced table.
You
can save the map as an image by holding your mouse pointer over the map and
clicking the right mouse button. Choose the Save Image option to save the image
to your computer. Note that the image will not include the map legend.
In
order to use the map and legend in for example a Word document the process is
as follows:
·
Use the mouse to select the area of the report you wish
to use.
·
Copy your selection by using either CTRL-C, or the Copy
option from the Edit menu, or right-clicking and choosing Copy from the menu.
·
Paste the result into your document by selecting the
place you wish to add the report and using either CTRL-V, or the Paste option
from the Edit menu, or right-clicking and choosing Paste from the menu.
