Specifying new geocoding tables
Spotfire comes with a selection of geocoding hierarchies that are
normally stored in the library (for on-premises and TIBCO Cloud Spotfire
users). You can also define your own geocoding tables using shapefiles (.shp),
GeoJSON files (.geojson), or data tables with categorical (usually
string
) hierarchies, and save them in the library for
future use. This is accomplished by setting a few data table and column
properties on the geocoding table in Spotfire and then exporting the file to
the library. It is also possible to use locally stored geocoding tables.

In most cases, your analysis will already contain the column properties or data table properties needed, because they are automatically added when opening geographical data. However, if a property that you want to specify is missing, you can add it from the Data tables overview in the data canvas. See Adding a new data table or column property for more information.
