Distance Zones

With the analysis Distance zones in the menu area organisation you can calculate distance zones around the territory locations and display them in the Show map. The air line distances are determined from the location of the Territory to the center of all bricks of the territory. barriers can be taken into account.

With the help of the distance zones you can analyze, how well your sales locations are placed within the area. You can see at a glance whether the locations are centrally located in your area. or which parts of the areas are far away from the site.

Unallocated areas, territories without location and Locations without assignment to a territory are not included in the analysis. are taken into account.

Note: This analysis is not available if there is no territorial analysis. or no territory.

Creating the Analysis Distance Zones

The analysis can be reached via the menu Territory organization > Analyses > Distance zones. First you are asked on which level or to which locations the distance zones should be calculated.

Alternatively, you can also insert the distance zones in the control window area organisation in the context menu of the area or location level under analyses.

Selection of the data basis

In the next step select the map in which the analysis is to be displayed and the plane on the basis of which the distances are calculated. The basic building block level and all subordinate area levels of the territory structure can be selected as levels.

Then click on Complete and EasyMap will insert a first draft of the distance zones into the map.

Edit Properties

Immediately after inserting the analysis, the Properties on the right side open. The properties can be reopened at any time via the control window Content by double-clicking on the map layer Distance zones.

With this analysis, the column to be analyzed can be selected, similar to the analysis surface coloring. The default is distance to location. Under Statistics you will find various distance codes. The zones around the site can be either classified in classes or continuous with increasing distance to the site.

Classified data evaluation

The creation of classes offers you numerous setting options. In addition to the number of classes or zones, you can specify how the limit values of the classes are to be determined.

In the middle area, enter Classes, the Count for classes, and the method of automatic Classification or set here to User defined to edit your own classes. In addition to Analysis range, you can also specify an interval within which the values are to be taken into account. Values outside the interval always fall into the residual class "unclassified".

  • In the lower area you can define the details (class list) of the analysis. Here you can use various commands to edit Classes and Color.
    • The design characteristics and class boundaries can be edited by double-clicking in the relevant cell. For example, you can select the color individually by double-clicking on the color for the respective class.
    • For more information on editing classes, symbols, colors, and sizes, see here.

    • Note: By sorting according to the name of the class, you can force a certain order in the legend!

Continuously colored distance zones

The setting continuous in the type of data evaluation offers you the comfort of obtaining a surface coloration without specifying classes, which displays the distance in a continuous color gradient.

As with the classified option, you can restrict the analysis range, define a gradient or set the color outside the analysis range.

Use the slider to the left of the gradient to change the gradient. This allows the color ranges to be enlarged or reduced over the entire data range.

Determine the details of the analysis

In Details you define other (non-data-dependent) properties of the analysis.

Visibility
General

Here you can control the visibility of objects and elements.
Scale range

Here you can set whether the selected object or plane should be visible at each scale. Or you can specify the scale or zoom level at which the object or layer is visible.
In reports

In Reports there is the possibility to change the environment only partially to zeigen. You can use this property to specify whether the layer is also visible outside the report area in this case.
Alternating visibility group

Set a group for mutual visibility here. If the element is to be made equally visible with other elements, you must use the same name for the visibility group.
Simultaneous visibility group

Set a group for simultaneous visibility here. If the element is to be made mutually visible with other elements, you must use the same name for the visibility group.
Calculation
Use geographic barriers

Specify whether EasyMap calculates the distance of a brick to the territory location using the linear distance or whether it additionally includes topographic obstacles (barriers) such as mountains, rivers or bays in the distance calculation. These are read from Barrier-base map
Common
Type of Shading Here you can select whether the color of the areas full area or only as edge color should appear. With this option, loosened maps are possible, which allow not only the analysis of the surface coloration but also a further evaluation, without the map appearing overloaded and not really readable.
Width of the Colored Border

Here you can set the width for the edge coloring in cm .
Comment Enter here a comment for the display of the workbook in EasyMap Xplorer. The comment is also displayed in EasyMap as a tooltip in the control window Contents.
Hatching - Display of the distance zones with multiple assignment.
Type

Here you can choose the type of hatching.
Width

Set here the hatch width in pixels.

Create tooltips for analysis

When crossing the colored areas on the map, you can display context-sensitive information about them.

Note: You can find out how to implement tooltips here.

The commands of the context menu

You can right-click on the analysis in the control window Content to open its context menu. The context menu provides actions that can be performed on this analysis.

Transfer Selection to

Transfers the current selection geographically to another object. Details...
Visible

Shows whether the object is visible and allows switching the visibility.
Order

Here you can change the selected element in the character sequence. Another option is to drag and drop the selected element within the content view.
Input Data...

Displays the data settings for the selected analysis. You can use this command later to change the connection between the analysis and the data.

Further information can be found here.
Show Results Table Displays the results of the selected analysis in a table.
Ignore filter

Defines whether an Analysis filter should be considered or not.
This setting only has an effect if Apply filter to analyses is activated in the table on which the analysis is based. In this case, Ignore filter can be used to exclude individual analyses from the filter application.
Restore defaults

Undoes all manual changes to this layer.
Clip Map

Here you can define a different clip map for the analysis.
Map XY

Here you will find various commands for the Map.
Copy

Copy the object (if necessary with all subobjects) to the clipboard to paste it elsewhere. The object can be inserted in other applications as a graphic, or inserted in EasyMap as a copy of this object using the Insert command.
Paste

Pastes the contents of the clipboard into this object as a child object.
Delete Deletes the selected element. (See also: delete objects)

Rename

 Changes the content view to an edit mode to give the object a new name. (This can also be achieved by clicking on an object that has already been marked.)
Properties...

Opens a properties dialog in which you can edit the Properties of the selected object. If several objects are selected, many properties can also be changed simultaneously for these objects.
