Please download the map by clicking on the attachment below. An Excel spreadsheet  containing an example chart data set for this map is included in the attachment.

To install this map, unzip the contents to your desktop then follow these instructions:
 

1. Log into the iDashboards Administrator application and choose 'Settings' > 'Plugins'.
2. Select the appropriate plugin type and, in the case of a custom map, subtype.
3. Click the Add Plugin button. This will open the plugin upload screen.
4. Both a single map and a Flex module plugin consist of a Flash movie (SWF) file and an XML file, while map sets and set-selectors consist of a single XML file. For a single map or Flex module, enter the paths to the two files in the appropriate spaces, either by typing them or by clicking the Browse button(s) and finding them on the disk. For a plugin set or set-selector, enter the path to the XML configuration file.
5. Click the Upload button. The Administrator Application will upload the file(s) to server, check them for consistency and either accept them or reject them. In either case, it will display a status message.

Once this has been done, you'll now see the new custom regionset available in Chart Properties>Chart Types as a map and called "PADD_USA". Selecting this chart type will allow you to build the PADD region map.

Please see the 'Managing Plugins' chapter of the iDashboards Admin manual for more information on installing maps.
