The legend is the key to your map. Get it right and a stranger can read your account segments at a glance; get it wrong and even you have to squint. AlignMix lets you customize the account segment legend so it says exactly what you want, in a layout that stays readable.
What You Can Control
You customize the legend through the configure layers tool: which segments show, what they’re called, and how they’re ordered. And when you import your account data, AlignMix auto-fits your segments so they all sit in a single tidy column instead of spilling messily across the map. So even a busy segmentation scheme comes in looking organized, and you tune it from there.

Make the Legend Do Its Job
A legend is only as clear as the labels behind it, so start by giving your segments plain-English names (see renaming account segments): “Key Accounts” and “Prospects” beat “SEG_1” and “SEG_2” every time. Keep the list short, since three to six segments read instantly and a dozen turn the legend into homework. And order it the way people think, usually most important at the top. The legend, your segment icons, and consistent colors are the three things that decide whether a map explains itself in a review or generates questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I customize the account segment legend in AlignMix?
Use the configure layers tool to control which segments show, their names, and their order. AlignMix also auto-fits segments into a single column on import.
Why are my segments all in one column?
AlignMix auto-fits imported segments into one column so the legend stays tidy instead of sprawling across the map. You can adjust it from there.
How many segments should the legend show?
Three to six keeps it readable. If you need finer detail, hold it in your data rather than adding more legend entries.
