Title: Mapping in R6
Post by: patton on 20 Mar 2017 09:35:22 AM
Hi all,
I've been getting ready to dive in mapping in Cognos Analytics and in R6 streets, zip codes and cities are added. But when I've played around in it, it is difficult to find what is the exact name or code needed to display it properly. Is there a list with countries and required formats (I mean the whole breakdown Country > Region > Province > City > postcode > address ) that we can use in designing dashboards? https://watson.analytics.ibmcloud.com/wa_docs/help/?cm_mc_uid=37494678092414139863576&cm_mc_sid_50200000=1489999460#/SS4QC9/com.ibm.solutions.wa_an_overview.2.0.0.doc/wa_discover_map_provinces.html (https://watson.analytics.ibmcloud.com/wa_docs/help/?cm_mc_uid=37494678092414139863576&cm_mc_sid_50200000=1489999460#/SS4QC9/com.ibm.solutions.wa_an_overview.2.0.0.doc/wa_discover_map_provinces.html) here is the link of supported thins in R5 (only Country > Province) How are we supposed to transform our data if we don't know what is should look like?

Hi,

Take a look at this shared folder in Box, maintained by Rick Blackwell (one of IBM's CA Product Managers):

https://ibm.box.com/s/rvqticfej2fadqybittgg484hbfe81q4

He has added some content for the R6 release that looks like exactly what you need here

Cheers!

MF.

We've been battling away trying to get the mapping to work with UK regions and postcodes - not much luck so far despite lots of help from our IBM Partner.

In our tests, 33% of London postcodes fail (in the latest release of 11.0.6.).
