Creating Maps

Single Indicator Map

The main Disruption Map tab shows a single indicator at a time.

Configuration Options

Color Scale

The map uses a diverging color scale:

  • Red: Disruption (actual < expected)
  • Yellow: Stable (actual ≈ expected)
  • Green: Surplus (actual > expected)

Values are capped at ±50% for visual clarity.

Multi-Indicator Comparison

The Multi-Indicator tab displays 2 indicators side by side.

Steps

  1. Go to the Multi-Indicator tab
  2. Select Indicator 1 and Indicator 2 from the dropdowns
  3. Both maps will display with the same year filter

Best Practices

Compare related indicators (e.g., ANC 1st visit vs ANC 4th visit) to identify patterns in service delivery.
