Labels for various parts of Business Analyst Online should be more "connected". A particular case in point:

I add a "Nearby" element to to my infographic. I choose "Nearby points of interest" and then select a category, say "Health and Medicine" and press next. I then select "Show as summary infographic" and keep all the settings the same and select Apply.

Why is my infographic called "Businesses" not "Health and Medicine"? Surely the category name could be a a dynamic field that automatically populates, or at the very least, it could populate itself?

The same disconnected problem occurs with the map element too. When I've set up all my little "Nearby" infographics, the map element allows you to add them to the map, by using the "Add other layers" optoin. Very clever, apart from when you add a layer by "Associate existing nearby locations table", the layer that is added is named "Business" rather than what you named it, and the icon on the map is a completely different icon. Why?

I suggest that these things could be connected, icons could be set and then transfer, the names for particular variables could be dynamic. If you pick a "Schools" category, then it automatically labels it "Schools".
