Data requirements
For stakeholders to appear on the map:
- Location field - City, office, or address
- Country - For international distribution
Leap Change geocodes locations automatically. If a location can’t be found, it won’t appear on the map.
Improving geocoding
If stakeholders aren’t appearing:
- Check the location field is populated
- Use standard location formats (City, Country)
- Avoid abbreviations when possible
- Update coordinates manually if needed
