Represents Property: In Cognos Analytics, the Represents property helps define how an attribute should be interpreted and visualized.
Geographic Location: Setting the Represents property of an attribute to Geographic location signals to Cognos that this data should be visualized on a map by default.
Implementation: This ensures that when a user drags this attribute onto a dashboard, Cognos will automatically use the Map visualization.
Reference: According to the IBM Cognos Analytics V11.1.x documentation, setting the Represents property to Geographic location is the correct method to ensure default map visualization for geographic data.
