Dashboard for Desktop > Dashboard Designer > Dashboard Items > Choropleth Map > Providing Data
The Dashboard Designer allows you to bind various dashboard items to data in a virtually uniform manner. To learn more, see the Binding Dashboard Items to Data topic.
The only difference is in the data sections that the required dashboard item has. This topic describes how to bind a Choropleth Map dashboard item to data in the Designer.
The Choropleth Map dashboard item has the following data sections.
•The Attribute data section allows you to associate map shapes with data source field values.
To associate map shapes with data source field values, drag-and-drop the required dimension to the data item's placeholder and select the required attribute in the Map Attribute Binding dialog. To invoke this dialog, click the Options button (the 
icon) next to the Attribute placeholder.
Select the required attribute and click OK.
•The Maps data section contains data items whose values are used to color map shapes. Map shape colors vary based on the map type.
Click the Options button (the 
or 
icon depending on the map type) next to the Value placeholder and select the required map type in the invoked Choropleth Map Options dialog.
If you select Value, the Choropleth map colors map shapes depending on the values provided. To learn more, see Map Coloring.
If you select Delta, the Choropleth map colors map shapes depending on the difference between two values. To learn how to specify delta indication settings, see Delta.
Note
You can fill several data item containers in the Maps section and use the Values drop-down menu to switch between the provided values. To invoke the Values menu, click the 
icon in the dashboard item caption.
•The TOOLTIP DATA ITEMS area has the Measures data section that allows you to add supplementary content to the tooltips. Drag and drop the required measures to provide additional data.
