# Overlay by File

User can select a excel/shape file saved in CRM to plot the same on the map. Further users can select the following options as well.

**Category Attributes:** An attribute can be selected to categorize the regions plotted by file.

**Summary Attributes:** One or more attributes can be selected to show the same in the Summary card. The attributes selected within the ‘Configuration’ of the saved file in the Territory Entity will be selected by default. User can deselect them and can select other attributes.

Users can also uncheck the option of ‘Plot All Regions’ if they do not want to plot all regions from the file. In this case, they can right click at any location on the map to select the option of ‘Show region’ from the Contextual Menu. This will help them to view the region for the respective selected location. User can again click on ‘Hide Region’ from the Contextual Menu to hide the region for the respective selected location. Further, user can also open the respective territory within which the file is saved using the ‘Open record’ button on the Summary card.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maplytics.com/features/overlay/overlay-by-file.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
