Repeating the tips from Chris Wallingford in this forum post https://community.tessituranetwork.com/tessitura_software_forums/f/tessitura_shared_reports-9/30305/heat-map-with-zip-code-lines-for-constituencies/80166

.... In Tessitura Analytics, there is now a Scatter Map widget which enables mapping at various geographic grains down to post code, with options for the size and color of the data points to be dependent upon the aggregated values associated with those regions. Here we're seeing a count of constituents for the size, the total ticket paid amount for the color, and an additional detail value in the tool tip for the average ticket paid amount per constituent in the selected geographic area.

Scatter maps do not currently support geographic shapes. We do have an enhancement request for this, however, this is easily achieved with Excel:

Create a Pivot widget of Primary Post Code Short and the value you'd like to map

Download the widget to Excel

Select the post code column and from the Data tab specify that the data type for the column is Geographic

Select both columns and from the Insert tab select Map

More information on this process can be found in the Excel help pages.
