You may either choose a premade map or click on the Blank Interactive Map SmartTemplate. All SmartTemplates, even the blank ones, have special settings to facilitate the creation of the diagram for which they are intended. We will begin with the blank SmartTemplate.
Once you have opened a SmartTemplate, you will use the Maps SmartPanel™ to import and customize your map. If you chose a premade map instead of the blank map, the SmartPanel will not include the Get Started group at the top.
