Using Placemaker data in reports and presentations

Charts and data exports from Placemaker can be used in planning reports, presentations and internal analysis. This article explains what uses are permitted and the attribution requirements that apply to all exports.

Key Concepts

Permitted uses

Exports from Placemaker are suitable for any legitimate planning and decision-making purpose, whether the document is internal or published by your organisation. There is no restriction on using exported data in reports, presentations or other materials your organisation produces.

Attribution requirements

Source attribution appears automatically on all exported charts and data files. It cannot be modified or removed. Removing or modifying attribution breaches the Placemaker Terms of Use.

How This Applies in Placemaker

Attribution text is embedded at the point of export. You do not need to add it manually. When you use an exported chart or data file in a report or presentation, the attribution travels with it. Check that the attribution is visible in your final document before publishing or distributing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a Placemaker chart in a report my organisation publishes publicly?

A: Yes. Exports can be used in publicly published documents provided the source attribution remains in place.

Q: Can I remove or reformat the attribution to match my organisation's style?

A: No. Attribution text is fixed and cannot be modified. Removing it breaches the Terms of Use.

Q: What if I need to crop or resize an exported chart?

A: You can resize or crop a chart image, but the attribution text must remain visible in the final version. If cropping would remove the attribution, adjust the crop.

Q: Can I share exports with people outside my organisation?

A: Exports are suitable for documents your organisation publishes. If you are unsure whether a specific use is permitted, contact your .id account manager.
