Shared Maps

A shared map is a snapshot of a Site Analysis view that you can send to anyone — teammates, executives, franchisees, brokers. Recipients open it in a browser, without needing a GrowthFactor account.

The Shared Maps page shows maps you and your workspace have shared.


Creating a Shared Map

You create a shared map from Site Analysis.

  1. In Site Analysis, search the location and set up the view you want to send: the trade area, and the layers you want visible.

  2. Click Share in the results panel header.

  3. Name the map.

  4. Set your Sharing Options, described below.

  5. Click Create Shared Map, then send it by email or link.


Choosing What Recipients See

The Sharing Options panel controls what's in the map. It appears once you've searched an address or the view includes a territory.

Data

Two checkboxes gate the sensitive numbers, controlling what is sent outside of your company.

Option
What it controls

Sales Forecast

Forecast and existing sales data in the GrowthFactor Model card and all map popups

Foot Traffic Data

Brand and business category rankings in the Tracked Businesses card and all map popups

Clearing a box removes that data from the shared map everywhere it would otherwise appear, including popups.

Cards

The remaining analysis cards are individually selectable. Only the ones you check appear for the recipient.

Layers

Every layer visible when you share is included, including custom data layers. Turn off anything you don't want sent before you click Share.

Limit to Territory Boundary

When the view includes a territory, Limit to territory boundary restricts the shared map to data inside it. If more than one territory overlaps the view, a Select territory dropdown picks which one.

This is how you send a franchisee or regional partner their area without exposing the rest of the map.


Sending the Map

Once the map is created, you can send it two ways:

  • Share via Email — type an address and press Enter to add it. Repeat for more recipients, then click Share.

  • Copy Link — copies a link you can paste anywhere.

Click Back to change your sharing options.


What Recipients Can Do

Recipients see the map, the layers you shared, and whichever cards you enabled. The view is bounded to the area you shared and capped at a maximum zoom, so they can't pan or zoom out into the rest of your data.

They can't add deals, export, or reshare. Everything is read-only.


Finding Your Shared Maps

Open Shared Maps in the sidebar under Manage. Each map lists its author and creation date. Use Search maps to filter by name.

Click Filter to change what's listed:

  • ShowMy Maps, the ones you created, or Workspace Maps, created by other members of the workspace

  • Sort byNewest first, Oldest first, or Alphabetical

A map saved without a name is listed as Untitled Map.


Managing a Map

Open a map's menu for:

  • Share — reopen the sharing dialog to send it again

  • Copy Link — copy its link

  • Move to workspace — move it to a different workspace

  • Delete — remove it, which breaks any link already sent

Delete requires edit access to the workspace holding the map.
