Creating a Sales Territory Map with SmartDraw

How to Insert a Custom Map

Begin by clicking Insert Map in SmartPanel. A window pops up with controls along the left side and a Google^® map filling the rest of the window.

In the bar at the top of the window, enter the address or area that you wish to include in your map. Use the controls on the left to determine the type of map, level of zoom, and more.

You can really customize your map using the Overlay group on the left side of the import map window. Click Add Data & Markers to import a spreadsheet or other data file (including .TXT, .CSV, .TSV, .XLS, and .XLSX). This can be a list of addresses, total sales based on region, regional representatives, and more. You will be given several options on how to plot the data you have provided.

Outline a state or other bounded area by clicking the checkboxes in the Overlay group. This helps draw attention to those data labels.
