Introducing an exciting new feature in RapidStats: My Map Shapes! This innovative tool allows users to save and customize geographical outlines to suit their preferences. Tailor your maps like never before!
With My Map Shapes, you have the ability to outline different areas of interest, such as cities, subdivisions or any kind of specific boundary lines you desire.
Making Map Shapes
To start making shapes, click on My Map Shapes.
From there, any map shapes you have created will appear with the option to edit or delete those shapes. Click CREATE NEW MAP SHAPE to proceed.
A new page will appear titled Map Shape Generator. Similarly to the mapping functionality in Flexmls, you have a polygon tool on the right side of the map. Zoom in or out to the area where you want to draw your shape and click the polygon tool. Then click and drag to create the exact shape you need. When finished drawing your desired shape, double-click to stop the drawing process.
Next, title and save your shape. Once complete, you will have successfully created a shape to use in the future.
Using My Map Shapes
To start using the shape you’ve created, visit any of the report options. Click View, and toggle on for Show My Map Shape. Choose the desired My Map Shape you created previously.
Next, adjust the square footage, dwelling type and price range if desired. Once your selections are made, click Refresh Report and a summary report for the last 24 months will be generated.
There are two things to consider when using My Map Shapes:
First, when making a shape, the smaller the area, the less data you will receive in a report. Second, My Map Shapes is a proactive step. It’s recommended you identify subdivisions, neighborhoods or other desired locations before running reports.
