Analyze Pop-up map or Select map responses

How many times was each map feature (=point, line, area, cell...) selected?

Go to Analyze > Map responses.

Select the map question. The features should appear as a choropleth map, in which the color of the feature signifies how many times it was clicked. The number you see on top of each feature indicates the times it was clicked.

Click the cog symbol to open an editing panel where you can view what the colors mean, remove the numbers and adjust the opacity of the features.

In our survey we asked people to pick an area from the map and then answer questions about it in a pop-up. How can I see what was answered in each area?

Select the map question in Analyze > Map responses. Click an area. A pop-up opens with charts and lists showing the responses of people in the pop-up of that specific area.

I would like to see how people who selected a specific area answered to the other questions in the survey, how do I do that?

You have two options: filter by area ID or use the spatial filter by selecting the area from the map manually. Both features can be found under Filters in the analysis tool.

Filter by ID

  1. Go to the analysis tool and select all questions that you want to create charts for.
  2. Open Filters.

  3. Expand Questions and select the pop-up map/select map question from the drop-down menu.

  4. Choose the ID and/or IDs that you want to filter by.

  5. Click Apply. The charts now show responses only associated with those particular IDs.

What is an ID?

Each feature in the map layer you used for the pop-up or select map has an ID: either from the map file’s own ID column or, if it doesn’t have one, assigned automatically by Maptionnaire in a field called mpt_id. You’ll find the IDs in the results Excel. If you're unsure about what ID corresponds to each feature, go to Materials, check what the file's ID key is, download the map file and look at its attributes in a GIS program. You can always contact us at support@maptionnaire.com for help.

Alternatively, you can use spatial filters to look at responses by people who selected a specific feature on the map

You can now filter responses based on geographic areas.

  1. In Analyze > Map responses, select the map responses to visualize them on the map.
     
  2. Click the Filters button.


     
  3. Under Spatial filters, click Draw on the map.

  4. Draw borders around the area. 


     
  5. Name the area you have drawn.

     
  6. Once applied, the map will display only responses within that designated area, and all charts will automatically update to reflect data from respondents whose entries intersect that geographic boundary. 

You can repeat this process to create multiple spatial filters.

Tip! Using conditions to compare how different groups answered? Make this more efficient by saving each filtered view.

Can I export the map data?
  1. Go to Export. Select GeoJSON. 

  2. Scroll down and click Download responses as GeoJSON. The layers are downloaded to your computer.
  3. The attribute "respondentCount" tells you how many times each geometry was clicked.
