Using Unified Geographic Roles
In addition to configuring standard Esri map services, the Reporting Server hosts and configures geographic boundaries for 58 World Administrative regions. You can use these files to generate Esri maps in App Studio. To support using these administrative boundaries in maps that can show geographic locations down to the postal code level, the list of geographic roles has been simplified and unified.
The server provides a Geographic Configuration Editor tool for uploading and configuring additional shapefiles and geographic roles, basemaps, and demographic layers. For information, see Configuring Geographic Information.
The list of geographic roles has been simplified and unified by adding hierarchical levels of keys in the server geographic configuration file. Your request that provides the geography dimension must provide the hierarchical keys needed to identify each target geography. For example, if your geographic role is City, you must also provide values for State and Country.
The following is the list of unified geographic roles is available for generating maps:
- Point of Interest.
- City.
- Continent.
- Country.
- County.
- Geometry line.
- Postal code.
- State.
Note: App Studio does not support aliasing or name variations in geographic roles. Users have to cleanse the data and provide the right values for all the georoles. Only Names are supported.
There is support for the lowest Administrative Level listed for the following countries:

Example: Creating a Map of World Cities
The following request, city1.fex, retrieves world city names, state names, and country names.
TABLE FILE wf_retail_lite SUM COGS_US REVENUE_US FST.CITY_NAME BY COUNTRY_NAME BY STATE_PROV_NAME ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML END
The following Settings panel for the HTML page that will generate the map is shown in the following image. CITY_NAME is the field that matches the geographic role. The keys needed to correctly identify each city are State (STATE_PROV_NAME field) and Country (COUNTRY_NAME field).
Running the HTML page generates the following map.
