To make it easier to see, I will now enter full screen mode by clicking this button on the bottom right-hand side of the map. Now that I've entered full screen mode, you can now see the entire mapping dashboard. The maps will expand to fill the entire screen. Please utilise full screen mode if you also want to be able to see more rows of the table underneath the maps. To exit full screen mode, you simply need to click this button down here in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Alternatively, you can click escape on your keyboard. 2) What is on the dashboard? Looking at the dashboard, there are seven distinct elements. There is the interactive map here. There is a table displaying all the geographical area types, the UK-wide and country-specific SEISA decile and the SEISA proportion. Please note that the expanding box beneath the maps offers further details on why we have supplied both a UK-wide and country-specific SEISA decile, as well as how to determine which variable may be most appropriate for your analysis. There is a colour legend for the map based on the UK-wide SEISA decile. A filter for the UK-wide SEISA decile. A filter for the country-specific SEISA decile. A Council area filter. And a free text search tool. 3) The colour legend The colour legend shows the colours utilised in the interactive maps. The colour legend used for the maps is one colour, that changes sequentially from dark to light. The darkest blue represents decile 1, the most deprived decile at a UK-wide level. That is, output areas located in decile 1 are within the 10% most deprived areas across the UK according to our measure. Meanwhile, the lightest blue represents decile 10, the least deprived decile at a UK-wide level. To ensure that our maps are accessible, we have used a single blue colour throughout our designs. There may be instances where it is more difficult to differentiate between output areas using the colour scheme (for example, when a filter is applied). In this scenario, we recommend utilising the tooltip to assist with determining which decile an area falls into. 4) The SEISA Decile UK filter The maps also feature a filter for the SEISA decile at a UK-wide level. This will allow you to filter the map to only show certain deciles. Currently, the map is displaying all 10 deciles. However, if we only wanted to see the bottom two deciles, we can drag the filter in from the right, which will filter the map to only show the bottom two deciles. That is, we are restricting the maps to show only those output areas that fall within the 20% most deprived areas across the UK. You can also drag the filter from the left, if you only wish to see the higher deciles. Restricting to the deciles of interest may make it easier to view larger areas of the map. 5) The SEISA Decile Scotland filter The maps also feature a filter for the SEISA decile at a country-specific level. This will allow you to filter the map to only show certain deciles. Currently, the map is displaying all 10 deciles. However, if we only wanted to see the bottom two deciles, we can drag the filter in from the right, which will filter the map to only show the bottom two deciles. That is, we are restricting the maps to show only those output areas that fall within the 20% most deprived areas across Scotland. You can also drag the filter from the left, if you only wish to see the higher deciles. Restricting to the deciles of interest may make it easier to view larger areas of the map. 6) The Council Area filter The Council Area filter allows users to filter the maps to show one or more council areas. In order to filter, click on the drop down. Then select the areas you wish to see. Once you have completed your selection, click 'apply' and the map should then display these areas. The more council areas you select, the more data you are asking the maps to load and therefore the slower they will respond. It is for this reason that when entering the maps for the first time, the default selection is a small area of the country, so that the maps load at a faster speed. 7) The Search field There is also a free text search field, which allows users to search for specific geographic areas. In this you can search for either council areas, intermediate zones, data zones, output area codes or postcodes. It should be noted that postcodes can be entered either with or without a space. All geographies can be searched by their name or code (except for output area which only has a code). For more information on how the map filters can impact the search function, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this video. What can be searched for? The table on the screen illustrates a list of valid search entries. This information is also provided in the expanding box at the bottom of the page, alongside an indicative list of invalid entries. An invalid entry will result in a blank error screen. For more information on how to return from a blank error screen, as well as examples of invalid entries, please refer to the troubleshooting section of this video. What happens when you search? For example, currently the map only displays the 'City of Edinburgh' council area. However, if we were to search for 'Abbeyhill' by typing into the free text search and clicking enter, it will automatically display all output areas in the 'Abbeyhill' intermediate zone. Please note, there will be occasions where your free text search is identified as existing in multiple locations across the country, resulting in your map not zooming in as expected or multiple areas being displayed on the map. Please refer to the troubleshooting section to learn how to resolve this. *For more information on why some output areas extend into the water, please refer to our troubleshooting section.* 8) What tools can I use with the maps? If we look at the interactive maps themselves, we will now take you through some of the tools that you can use to interact with the map. Whenever you interact with the map, you will notice a small menu appears on the top left-hand corner of the maps. Zoom functions The plus and minus buttons operate as a zoom function, so the plus will zoom in and the minus will zoom out. These will zoom at set stepped intervals. If you want greater control over the zoom feature, you can use the scroll button on your mouse to zoom in and out. Resetting zoom Alternatively, if you're exploring the maps and have gone too far away from what you want to look at, you can press this little house icon, which is the zoom home button. This will automatically default the map back to the last search area. Expanding box: map tools The black arrow will expand to give you access to a number of different tools. Area zoom The rectangle with a magnifying glass allows you to select an area that you wish to zoom into. So you can click and drag over the map as shown and it will automatically zoom the map into that area. Pan button Then we have the four directional arrows or a cross with arrow heads. This is the pan button. When you click on this, it will allow you to move the map about by clicking and dragging. Once again, you can click on the zoom home button to revert the map back to the default view. Please note, if you use the pan tool on the maps, we recommend resetting the maps before using the search function, as otherwise the maps may not automatically zoom to your next search area. Rectangular area select The next tool over is the rectangle. Users can click and drag to select a rectangular area that they wish to be displayed. To remove this filter, simply click on any area of the map that does not have any output areas displayed. Radial filter Similarly, the button to the right of that is the radial button. This button allows you to select a circular area, with a radius in miles. As you can see, this displays all output areas held within this radius. So, for example, you can see here that we have chosen a circular area with a radius of 1 mile. To remove this filter, simply click on any area of the map that does not have any output areas displayed. Lasso filter Then the final tool is the lasso tool. This allows you to create a custom area to select. You click and hold. This will allow you to drag the boundary of the area to select. To complete the shape, reconnect your line to the original starting point. To remove this filter, simply click on any area of the map that does not have any output areas displayed. The tooltip itself When you hover over any output area on the map, a tooltip will appear. This tooltip will show the council area, the output area code and both the UK-wide and country-specific SEISA decile of that output area. This tooltip can help users with identifying the UK-wide and country-specific SEISA decile of each output area. 9) What does the table below the maps contain? What geographies does it show? Below the maps you can see a table that contains all the information for all of the geographic area types. It contains data on council areas, intermediate zones, data zones and output areas. What information on our measure does it hold? It also contains information on the SEISA proportion, as well as both the UK-wide and country-specific SEISA decile. The decile represents which decile the output area falls into in our measure (either at a UK-wide or country-specific level) and this can range from 1 to 10 (where 1 represents the most deprived decile). The SEISA proportion is the value from which the deciles are calculated. *For more information on the SEISA decile and proportion, please refer to section 9 of the summary page.* What information does the table not hold? The table underneath the maps does not contain any information regarding other area-based measures such as the Indices of Deprivation. This is due to their inclusion having an adverse impact on the loading speed of the maps. For those who would like to use other area-based measures such as the Indices of Deprivation, alongside SEISA, as part of their research and analysis, we have provided an excel file containing the variables we used to generate our technical report in the downloads section of the webpage. Further information on this can also be found in section 16 of our summary page. How to use the table to filter the map You can also use this table to filter the interactive map. For example if I select this intermediate zone, it will restrict the map to this area. To remove this filter, you simply need to click the intermediate zone for a second time. Downloading data from the maps As we have illustrated, when utilising the maps, the table underneath will display the associated geography and SEISA deciles, alongside other contextual information such as the SEISA proportion. If you wish to download this as a csv file, you can do this using Tableau. In order to download the data from the map, you must first exit full screen mode. Then click on the icon that is second from the right at the bottom of the screen (rectangle with a downward arrow), then click 'data', this will open a pop up screen that will allow you to view and download the data, and to enable you to undertake any onward analysis using the csv it provides. Note that if you restrict the map using the table, map, search bar or filters, it will restrict the data download accordingly. Alternatively, if the maps do not allow you to select 'data', you can click on each of the variables of interest whilst holding the ctrl key (such as the UK-wide and country-specific SEISA Decile, as well as the SEISA proportion). A pop up will appear and on the far right hand side there will be an icon that looks like a series of horizontal lines, which will allow you to view the data. Once you click this, another dialogue box will open with the selected data and you can then click the download button on the top right to download a csv file of the data excerpt. 10) Troubleshooting the maps This section will walk you through some common issues with the maps and how to rectify them. Map not automatically zooming to area of interest? If you have selected a filter or utilised the search function and the map has not defaulted to the area searched, try clicking on the house icon, which will reset the zoom. The map should then zoom to the area searched. This issue tends to appear when you have used one of the map tools, such as the pan tool, to explore the map without resetting the maps with the zoom home button after. Trying to view a larger area? The tools and filters that can be used with the maps only allow you to restrict the view of the maps. That being, you can only shrink the number of output areas you are viewing - you cannot increase them. If you wish to view a larger area, please utilise the council area drop down to firstly select additional areas. You can then use the tools to restrict this larger area. Map taking a long time to load? There are several reasons the maps may take a few seconds to load. The main reason will often be, that you are attempting to load a large number of areas. The more data you are trying to load, the slower the maps will be. For example, if you try to load the whole of Scotland, this will take longer to load than if you were trying to load one intermediate zone. Your internet connection will also impact the speed of loading. The faster the connection, the faster the maps will load. I have searched an area but multiple areas have appeared? As stated earlier, there will be occasions where your free text search is identified as existing in multiple locations across the country, resulting in your map not zooming in as expected, e.g. Glasgow. This is because there are likely to be numerous areas across different parts of the country, which feature the word you entered in the free text search field within their name. The search tool searches for the word, so if more than one place has that word in its title, multiple localities will be returned. This will be the reason why the map may not zoom into the area you expected. At this point, you should use the table beneath the maps to restrict to the council area or other geography of interest. For example if I select this council area, it will restrict the map to this area. To remove this filter, you simply need to click the council area for a second time. Why do some output areas extend into the water? For some output areas near the coastline, you may notice that the boundaries appear to extend into the water. This is due to the type of boundary file we used to create the maps, which are called shapefiles. The shapefiles that we use for our maps are 'extent of the realm'. This means that for the boundaries of the output areas that are along the coast, the boundary line is drawn at the mean low water mark. It is for this reason that some output areas appear to extend into the water. Blank screen after searching? If you use the search function, and you receive a blank screen, this means that you have searched an invalid item. Please check that you have spelled the area correctly, with no leading/trailing white spaces. Otherwise, please check that you have searched for an accepted type of geography. For example, if you search for a university name, you will receive a blank screen as this is not an accepted search item. Examples of invalid entries are provided in the table on your screen now, though please note that this is not an exhaustive list. Please also note that there may be instances where searching for an invalid geography type may still lead to a valid search emerging. This will have occurred in instances where the name you have searched for overlaps with an accepted geography type. On such occasions, we would recommend checking that the area that has appeared does align with your expectations. For information on the accepted search items, please refer to the section on what can be searched for. I have searched for a valid area, so why do I see a blank error screen? If you have searched for a valid geography and received a blank error screen, please first check that you have spelled the area correctly with no leading or trailing whitespaces. If that is all correct, it may be due to the filters that you have applied to the maps. When you apply filters to the maps, it restricts the maps as well as the underlying dataset. Depending on what filters you have applied, you may receive a blank screen after searching for a valid search item. For example, if the council area filter is set to the 'City of Edinburgh' and you search for the 'Glasgow' council area, you will receive an error screen. This is because 'Glasgow' does not appear in the restricted dataset for 'City of Edinburgh'. You will need to expand the Council Area filter to include the area you are trying to search for. If you encounter an error screen, first check it is a valid search term and then check if the spelling is correct with no whitespaces. Finally, check that the restrictions you have applied (through the use of the filters and map tools) do not exclude the area you wish to search for. How do I remove filters? If you have used the map tools to restrict the maps, please click on an area of the maps that does not have any output areas in the blue shade. This will undo the restriction and remove the filter from the data. After this, please click the zoom home button to ensure the maps are properly reset. If you have used the table of data underneath the maps to filter/restrict the maps, please click on the geography for a second time to remove the filter/restriction. For example, if you select an intermediate zone to filter/restrict the maps, please select that same intermediate zone for a second time to remove the filter. Once again, please click the zoom home button after to ensure the maps are properly reset.
