Start by logging into ClearPoint Strategy at [app.clearpointstrategy.com/#/home](http://app.clearpointstrategy.com/#/home)

Select **Scorecards & Elements** from the Control Panel\
Choose **Manage Reports**\
Open **Maps**\
Click on the **Plus icon** to add a new Map

Under **Map Name**, enter the name of your new map, in this example, ‘Upward Air Corporate’.\
\
Under **Element Display Options** we are going to select **Show Element Names and Icons**\
The option to **Show Element Names and Icons** means the names of the elements will be displayed alongside status indicators on your map. If you are using a background color, then it would make more sense to Show Element Names and Icons as if you only display the icon, you will not see the element name that the status corresponds to.\
If you are putting in a background image that already has the names of the associated elements in the image, then it makes more sense to just **Show Element Icons**.\
\
Choose a background color for your map, or upload your own background image\
Make sure to upload your own background image as .jpg, .gif or .png. You can also add a background image from our template library.\
\
Mark the checkbox next to **Hide page title on exported reports** if you wish to hide the map’s page title in exported reports.\
Once you are done, click **Continue**

Click the "Hide page title on exported reports" field.
