The classification methods available are:
Equal Value Ranges - The data will be grouped into your chosen number of categories; each with the same sized range values. Equal Value range maps are easy to interpret and are good for visualising uniform distribution and continuous data. It is not an appropriate classification method where the data is clustered around only a few values.
Equal Class Counts - You can evenly distribute your data into a chosen number of categories; each will contain an equal number of records. However data with similar values may end up in different categories.
Custom Ranges - You will be able to set the range values of each class. This can be useful if you wish to round numbers e.g. 5000 – 10,000 or map the data according to specific KPIs.
You can also change the colour of individual classes by clicking on the colour box next to a class and selecting a new colour. Press the Layer back arrow to return to the layer editor once you are happy with your settings.

Change the border transparency
You can change the transparency of the border colour of your Territories in the same way as the Fill colour, by clicking and dragging the bar underneath Border Transparency.
