What's new

  • Addresses placed on the map. Applicant organisations' addresses, and application Address fields tagged location, are now looked up in the background. Each gets a point and its regions: in Australia the local government area, federal and state electorates and remoteness area, and in New Zealand the territorial authority and general electorate. See Maps and geography.
  • Map on the dashboard. Choose Map as a visualisation. Points shows each application coloured by status or by approved or declined, and opens it when you select it. Regions ranks local government areas or electorates by count or approved amount. Download it as a PNG or its rows as CSV. A map only shows the applications you're allowed to see.
  • Geography columns in reports. The Applications and Applicants data sources have Latitude, Longitude, Local government area, Federal electorate, State electorate and Remoteness, to filter and export.
  • Place a pin. When an address can't be found, the record shows Address not located, and you can place it on the map yourself. Tick Allow map pin on an Address field to let applicants drop or move their own pin.
  • Geography setting. Turn it off in Settings > Organisation to stop all address lookups and hide maps. Re-run enrichment updates every region after new boundaries are loaded.
