This course is geared to users who have already completed some standard ENVISION training. In this course we will be using Assets like customer files, locations and trade areas, which have been previously uploaded into or created within an ENVISION account.
In the ENVISION Mapping lessons, you will learn how to create maps that add value to your analysis. Bring the data to life with maps that help visualize your findings.
These lessons help to answer the following questions:
- How do I visualize where my customers are coming from at higher concentrations?
- How can I map sales volumes and customer distribution?
- How can I find areas with high percentage of demographic variables?
- How can I add my company logo onto my location map?
The functionality we will cover will ensure you understand how to:
- Map variables, customers and trade areas
- Tame thematic layers by editing methods, ranges and colors/colours
- Add annotations, personalized logos and location symbols to your map
- Save, share and publish maps for distribution to internal and external stakeholders via our microsite functionality

Important Note!
Our ENVISION Mapping Course will show you how to produce many different types of maps in ENVISION. While comprehensive knowledge of ENVISION's mapping capabilities comes from taking the entire course, it is not required that you follow every lesson to begin mapping. In addition, with the exception of Lesson 1: The Mapping Interface and Toolbar opens in new window, you can take the lessons in any order you like.
