Black areas when using Synoptic Panel by OKViz

[DataSkills]

Hi there, 

I am using Synoptic Panel by OKViz to create a report that allows users to click on plaques, windows etc within a church and see the details about what the items say, who donated the panel etc. 

I have created the SVG images using the Synoptic design tool. Each item gets a unique name which correlates to a record in my dataset. I have taken care to ensure that my naming is identical. So I have eg Plaque001, Plaque002 etc. Or Window001, Window002.  My naming is unique in the dataset (ie no 2 plaques have the same number). 

The problem I am experiencing is that when I import my svg image into the visual in Power BI, I am getting limited (sometimes zero, sometimes partial) association between the delineated zones I created and my data. I am a bit stumped as to why. The ONLY thing that links the 2 is the name and this is identical in my dataset and in the SVG file. When the Synoptic panel visual doesn't find associated data, it shows up by default as a black zone. When I hover over a zone it gives me the name I associated with that zone (eg Plaque075). If I look in my data, I have Plaque075! These should link. 

Am I missing something in terms of how this works? Any suggestions welcomed.  Thanks

I have figured out the problem. In order to get this visual to work, you have to put a field into the "measure" field. If you use a field that has nulls, you get a black area.

I don't need any value in there so I had used a field that was partially filled in and as a result, SOME of my areas were being "linked" and those with nulls were coming up black! Once I changed to a field with values throughout, it all worked.
