Drag data points onto the map

You can see that there is also an extra icon on the right side of the split screen on the Siwenoid interface. To drag data points, you may want to open the map there. After clicking the plus icon, select the map option and then the map to which you want to drag the data points.



Remember that you need to switch the added map to edit mode. You can do this by clicking on the pliers and screw icon shown in the image and then selecting the edit option from the pop-up menu.



Then open the data point hierarchy menu on the left.
From the data point hierarchy menu, select the unit you want to pull down, in this case a zone.



You can then drag and drop the zone to the appropriate part of the map.
You can resize the zone to cover a larger area instead of a point. To do this, right-click on the data point and select "Active Zone" under Layout Style.
The active zone created in this way can be modified by dragging the corner with the circle icon in the corners of the zone after selection. If you want a different shape instead of a triangle, you can press "Ctrl" to create a new vertex, or press "Ctrl" and click on a vertex to remove it.
