1. Set the Batesville measurement boundary
The dashboard page describes rankings, calls, leads, case types, sources and matters in one view. Your first decision is what geographic question the view should answer. Batesville city and Panola County are not interchangeable: a city target, a county target and a broader Mississippi target represent different reporting scopes. The Census record identifies Batesville as a municipality in Panola County, but it does not show which locations produce legal inquiries. A report that combines every location into one total may be easy to read while obscuring the distinction you need.
Recommended approach
Ask for a written geographic definition before reviewing performance. Decide whether the primary view should isolate Batesville, include Panola County, or cover a wider service area. Keep those views separate where the decision requires it, and do not use the city’s population estimate as a forecast of demand. Confirm how location is assigned to a call, form or matter and how uncertain location data is handled.
