Resolving data mismatches

Sometimes the map you are working with uses a different geographic name from the one used in the database. For example, a map of Europe may use "United Kingdom" while the database uses the abbreviation "U.K." Until you resolve the data mismatch, the map will not be able to display any information for the selected geographic region.

To resolve data mismatches

1. On the Analyzer menu, click Resolve Mismatch.

   The Map Region Resolver dialog box appears, listing the geographic names that do not correspond between the database and map.

2. On the Keyword Matching tab, in the Assign this heading list that is used by the database, click the heading you want to resolve.

   The selected heading may be automatically assigned to a keyword from the To this keyword list that is used by the map.

3. To assign a keyword yourself, click another keyword from the To this keyword list.
4. If there is a match, click Assign.

   The new assignment is displayed in the bottom part of the Map Region Resolver dialog box.

5. Once you are finished resolving the data mismatches, click OK.

   The map can now display data for the selected geographic region.
