Geomaps allow you to visualize geographical distribution of data for a world, country, region, or state.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: Anyone with access to data can create a visualization of that data on any dashboard that they can edit. Users with the itil, report_user, admin, or viz_creator role can create a visualization in the Visualization Designer. When you create a visualization in the Visualization Designer, it is saved to the Library. For more information on access, see [Report_view access control](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/atlS6JUVLxx5fx3wFnCEhg "The report_view operation is a record type access control list (ACL) that restricts access to reports. Only users who have one of the required roles can view reports that contain the restricted resource.") and [Platform Analytics roles](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/PeMP6xvkQcdLfzdN2uLgsw "Platform Analytics has both unique roles and roles from other applications that apply to it.").

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Use a Geomap visualization to present data in a geographical visualization.

## Prozedur

1. Follow the first steps to [Create a dial data visualization](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ukh4eiDUKMGCGJul2RB5pg "Use a dial visualization to show where a value lies between expected minimum and maximum values. Use the dial visualization to show how a value compares to a target or benchmark, track progress, or to identify areas for improvement."):
   1. Navigate to WorkspacesPlatform Analytics Workspace, or another workspace that has the Analytics Overview (![Analytics center icon]()) component. The workspaces you have access to may differ. {#dv-example-geomap__ph_yvn_xvt_4tb}
   2. Select the Data Visualizations tab.
   3. Select New. {#dv-example-geomap__ph_mdy_zvt_4tb}
   4. Select the (![Geomap icon]()) visualization type.
   {#dv-example-geomap__substeps_ang_vmy_5xb}
2. For the moment, we can skip the header and border section and move to the data source.
   1. Select Add data source.
   2. Choose the Incident \[incident\] table.
   3. Add open incidents.  
      Open the condition so the visualization only shows the number of active incidents.
   {#dv-example-geomap__substeps_mvy_1wy_5xb}
3. Configure the Header and border. Header and border options are the same for all data sources.

   | Header and border fields | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Show header | The visualization header, including title and icons. |
   | Show header separator | Option to display a line separating the header from the rest of the component. |
   | Chart title | Title of the visualization. |
   | Description | A short overview about the visualization that the end user sees. Descriptions help users find the visualization. |
   | Wrap title | Option to wrap long titles onto a second line. If false, displays an ellipsis to truncate long titles. |
   | Show border | Option to display a line around the component. |
   | Bare | Option to remove padding around data visualization to provide more compact positioning on the page. Only available when Show border is turned off. |

4. Set the options for your data source.  
   Go to [Table data options for Geomap visualizations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/DK2ildvzP6R1ZQtXz_IGoA "When you select a table data source for a Geomap visualization, the following Data configuration options are available.").
