User`s guide

With the Cross-Tab layout, you can map on a Cross-Tab summary field. For example, with a Cross-Tab
that shows the total number of items of a product sold in each region of the United States, you may
want to include a map that shows the percentage of the total sales of the product provided by each
region.
In order to create a Cross-Tab map you must first have a Cross-Tab in your report. For more information
about Cross-Tabs, see Cross-Tab Objects.
