Hi Team, is there any way to create geo area chart for Australia. I've updated the LDM as below but can't generate the map in GD. link: 60. [INT] Venue LGA Report - GoodData Cloud

Geo Area Chart for Australia (LGA Level) Looking at your screenshots, I can see the issue: you've configured the LGA CODE MONTHLY attribute as a Geo area label with Collection: Region, but the map is rendering as a standard basemap with no filled polygons — just city pushpins. This means GoodData cannot match your LGA codes to any built-in geographic boundaries. Why it's not working GoodData's built-in Region collection supports ISO 3166-2 administrative subdivisions (e.g.,
US-CA
,
FR-IDF
). Australian LGA (Local Government Area) codes are not part of the built-in supported regions. [Geo Area Charts] The built-in collections only cover: • Countries: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (e.g.,
AU
) • Regions: ISO 3166-2 administrative subdivisions Australian LGAs are a sub-state level that is not included in the standard ISO 3166-2 set. Solution: Upload a Custom Geo Collection You need to upload a custom geo collection containing Australian LGA boundaries. Here's how: 1. Obtain an LGA GeoJSON/Shapefile — Australian LGA boundary data is available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). 2. Prepare the file — Ensure:Example structure:{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "id": "10050", "properties": { "name": "Albury" }, "geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[...]]] } } ] } ◦ Each LGA feature has a unique
id
value that matches the values in your
LGA_CODE_MONTHLY
column
. ◦ Coordinate precision does not exceed 5–6 decimal places. ◦ The file is GeoJSON (`.geojson`/`.json`) or an ESRI Shapefile (
.zip
). ◦ File size is under 100 MB. 1. Upload the collection (as an admin): ◦ Go to Settings > Appearance & Behaviour > Geo collection ◦ Upload your GeoJSON or Shapefile ◦ The collection will be added to your organization's geo collection library [Custom Geo Collections] 1. Update your LDM: ◦ In the workspace LDM, edit the Geo area label on your LGA attribute ◦ Change the Collection from
Region
to your newly uploaded custom LGA collection ◦ Ensure the dataset values match the
id
values in the GeoJSON [Custom Geo Collections] 1. Set the viewport — You've already set Default viewport: Australia in the Map configuration, which is correct. Key Check Make sure the
LGA_CODE_MONTHLY
values in your database exactly match the
id
values in the GeoJSON file. A mismatch here is the most common reason regions don't render. If you don't have admin access to upload geo collections, you'll need to contact your GoodData organization administrator to perform the upload step. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups. 👀 Our Support team monitors all messages and will jump in if needed.
