Working with Studio Reports Maps
Applies to: Kyvos Reporting
An AmMap is a geographical heat map that visualizes data using color gradients. Color intensity and range help convey varying data values associated with specific regions. Kyvos Reporting Studio provides advanced tools to design and preview AmMaps for geographic data analysis.
Note
AmMaps are created in Kyvos Reporting Studio and can later be viewed and analyzed in Web Studio.
