Hi Lise,

As far as I know, the only work-around right now is to code your
qualitative answers as numbers (e.g. 0 = No, 1 = Yes, 3 = N/A), then create
a legend set with corresponding ranges, see example below.

We've used this for aggregate data elements at country level, but would
assume that it works if you create a thematic layer based on Event data
elements. If that doesn't work then you probably need to create indicators
based on your event data before you can map out by polygon.

Hope this works for you!
