The map is a visualization tool built on top of ChartHop's powerful people analytics platform. 

By default, all employees can access the map and view everyone’s work locations. Users who have access to sensitive data have an additional option to view employees either by their home or work address*.*

:::hint{type="warning"}
To protect employee privacy, exact addresses and locations are concealed and map pinpoints are randomized based on zip code. Only employees with Owner role or a role that gives them access to sensitive information can see exact locations. [Learn more.](https://docs.charthop.com/user-roles-and-permissions)

As you create and assign locations to employees in your Groups, they display on the map. 

A summary of the number of employees and open roles displays at the top left corner of the map. When employees do not have a defined location, they are indicated as missing locations. You can click on the number of missing locations to open up the **Data Sheet** with a pre-populated list of those employees.

## Filtering the Map view

You can use filters to highlight specific teams, departments, and functions on the map.

### Visualize map data

For a quick visual, you can apply highlights to employees on your map using the **Visualization** tool. Select a visualization category from the **Visualization** dropdown menu.

Other helpful categories to visualize include:

- Location
- Band
- Team
- Department

## Setting work locations

The map displays any office or remote locations for employees who have a work location address set up. You can set addresses for office and remote locations in the **Locations** tab of the **Groups** page. [Learn more](https://docs.charthop.com/creating-locations).

If you do not see your work locations appear on the map, check to make sure that they've been assigned both a city and a country.
