# Map report administration

Learn how about the different objects that are used in map reports, and how to create and modify them.

-   **[Map report objects](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/reporting/c_MapReportObjects.md)**  
Map objects define the different levels that users can drill down into on a map report and the data displayed on these levels. Admins can create and manage these objects.
-   **[Automatically generate a map source hierarchy](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/reporting/t_AutoGenerateMapSourceHierarchy.md)**  
A map source hierarchy is a data source that is used to create a map report. Except for the top-level wrapper, each map source level in the hierarchy defines the data for one map drill level.
-   **[Customize a map source level](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/reporting/t_CustomizeAMapSourceLevel.md)**  
A map source configures data to be displayed in a map report. Customize existing map sources according to your needs.
-   **[Create a key-value pair mapping](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/reporting/t_CreateKeyValuePairMapping.md)**  
Key-value pair mappings transform data in the ServiceNow platform to a value that can be plotted on a map. Mappings are used during map source configuration when data requires transformation. Each mapping exists in a mapping group.
-   **[Create a map](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/reporting/t_CreateAMap.md)**  
Create a map that can be used in a map hierarchy.
