Welcome to our series on helpful tips for PolicyMap. With over 4,000 indicators of data and many features, we hope our weekly tips can help users better utilize PolicyMap. For a complete training, please join a free online session here: Click Here

Did you know the Legend can show you key details about the data layer currently viewed, and also allow you to toggle between; available years, different variables, and (if you are a subscriber) create your own custom cut points.

Once a data layer is loaded, the legend allows you to toggle between any available years and change the variable (e.g. percentage change or number).

The legend will also show the value for ranges displayed on the map, and allow you to increase or decrease the number of ranges displayed. The source of the current data layer and the geography at which you see the data is shown here.

Subscribers have the ability to create their own cut points for each range in the legend.  Click Edit Ranges, and begin customizing the range values.  Click Apply to update the map, and Restore Defaults to return back to normal.

Read our Quick Start Guide to learn the basics of PolicyMap and jump right into using the power of data.
