Configuring the layer name and display options

On the Layer Properties tab for the map layer, you configure the layer name and options for displaying the map locations, and, for heat map layers, the cloud overlay.

On the Layer Properties tab:

  1. In the Layer name field, type the name of the layer.

    The layer name is used to identify the layer on the map legend.

    For numbered point layers, the name is also used in the layer drop-down list on the numbered point list.

  2. If the view contains multiple geocode attributes, then from the Geo filtering attribute drop-down list, select the attribute to use when searching or filtering the locations.

    By default, the map layer uses the same geocode attribute for both the map points and the filtering.

  3. For point layers and heat map layers, from the Size of points drop-down list, select the size of the map location points.
  4. For numbered point and point map layers, from the Layer color drop-down list, select the color to use to display the points.
  5. For a heat map layer, to configure the color and metric value range:
