The View Geography Regions feature in VoxDash allows data providers to manage regional details for their maps. Once a map has been added to VoxDash, you can easily view, edit, delete, and export or import all the geographic regions associated with it.

​
Accessing the Maps Page

• Open the Data Provider Panel From your VoxDash dashboard, go to the Data Provider section. This area allows you to manage all datasets, maps, and visual elements associated with your organization. • Navigate to the Maps Page Click Maps in the sidebar. Here, you’ll find a complete list of all maps currently available in VoxDash for your organization. • Find Your Map Locate the map you want to work with. You can use the search bar or filters to quickly find it if you manage multiple maps.

Viewing Geography Regions

  1. On the Maps page, locate your desired map and click the menu icon (⋮) on the right side of its row.
  2. From the dropdown list, choose View Geography Regions.
    A modal window appears, listing all defined regions for that map.
Within this modal, you can:
  • Edit a region’s properties (e.g., rename or update boundaries)
  • Delete regions you no longer need
  • Add new regions manually or via import

​
Exporting Regions

The Export feature allows you to download a complete Excel (.xlsx) file of all the map’s regions. This is especially valuable for:
  • Backing up your region configurations
  • Reviewing region data offline
  • Sharing configuration with other team members or systems

​
To Export Regions:

  1. In the View Geography Regions modal, click Export.
  2. VoxDash generates the file and downloads it to your device.
The exported Excel file includes standardized columns such as:
  • Region Name
  • Region Code or ID
  • Existing Alternate Names
  • Add Alternate Names

​
Importing Regions

Use the Import feature to upload or update region definitions in bulk.
This is particularly helpful when you need to:
  • Add multiple new regions at once
  • Update names or access levels for existing ones
  • Align boundaries with changes in external geographic data

​
To Import Regions:

  1. In the View Geography Regions modal, click Import.
  2. Upload an Excel file (.xlsx) that follows the VoxDash region schema.
    • Each row should represent a single region.
    • Required columns include:
      • Region Name
      • Region Code or ID
      • Existing Alternate Names
  3. Click Confirm to apply updates.

Best Practices

  • Always export before bulk imports to retain a backup of your current configuration.
  • Use consistent naming conventions for regions to ensure data joins correctly in analytics views.
