- Log in and open your Qlik Sense app, and click Edit sheet to enter Edit mode, then ensure you have both a map visualization and at least one other chart on the same sheet.
- Click Edit sheet again to exit Edit mode, then click on a point or region in the map to make a selection.
- Observe that all other visualizations on the sheet, such as bar charts and KPIs, update automatically to reflect the selected location.
- To add a filter pane alongside the map, return to Edit mode and drag the Filter pane chart onto the sheet from the Charts panel.
- Add your location field as a dimension in the Filter pane so users can select regions from both the map and the filter pane at the same time
- Click Edit sheet again and test the combined interaction; selections in either the map or the filter pane should filter the full sheet in sync.

📌 Why this matters
Why this matters
Linking a map to other visualizations turns it from a static display into a live filtering tool - one click on a region instantly scopes every other chart on the sheet to that location. This is the core of Qlik Sense's associative model, and maps are one of the most intuitive ways to expose it to business users who may not be familiar with traditional filter panels. For regional managers or field teams, being able to click their territory on a map and immediately see the relevant KPIs, trends, and breakdowns removes friction from the analysis process. It also makes dashboards more self-explanatory to new users, reducing the need for training or documentation.
