Maps in IBM Cognos Express

Hi All,

I'm using Cognos Express 9.0 and using TM1 cubes as the data source.

I'm trying to create a map of the World in Report Studio that shows all the countries(in different colours) based on their net revenue.

Is this possible with the basic capabilities of Cognos maps or does one have to have MapInfo or Map Manager in order to accomplish this task?

Much appreciated!!!

As long as the codes in your data match with the expected codes from the map, C8 will correctly match them and display the colors. You don't need MapInfo unless you need a custom map with corporate regions, etc. that can't be found in the (limited) standard maps that are included.
