You can format an ESRI Map visualization in a dashboard to determine whether markers on the map are clustered together in the visualization, or change the background map theme to a street map or satellite map, for example.
From the drop-down list at the top of the panel, determine which part of the map to format. See the appropriate section below for formatting options:
The Map options contain general formatting options for the map’s display, such as the display theme, map type, clustering, and so on. The following options are available:
Map Style: Select the display theme to be used when showing the map, such as World Street Map or Terrain Map.
Map Type: Select the type of map to display. The options are:
Marker: Select this option to display a map with bubble or image markers.
Area: Select this option to display a map with colored areas representing geographic regions, such as countries, states/provinces, and counties.
Density: Select this option to display a density map.
The following options are available for marker maps:
Clustering: You can enable map markers to be clustered together when a large number of map markers must be displayed in the same map area. Each cluster of markers is displayed as a separate bubble or image marker. Users can double-click a cluster to zoom in on the area and display individual map markers in the cluster. Select one of the following
Automatic: Allow the application to determine whether to cluster map markers.
On: Select this option to cluster map markers.
Pie: Select this option to cluster map markers with pie graphs.
Off (default): Select this option to display map markers without clustering.
Marker Type: Select the type of map marker to display on the map, such as Bubbles or Pins.
The following option is available for area maps:
Boundaries: Select the base map to use to display areas in the visualization, such as US States or World Admin Divisions. The base map is a map that contains the shape of each area that can be displayed in the visualization. For example, you can display data for both states and provinces by displaying your data on the World Admin Divisions base map, or display data only for states by displaying your data on the U.S. States base map. The base maps available vary automatically depending on the type of geographic data that you have added to the map. For example, if you add state data to the visualization, the U.S. States and State Abbreviations base maps are available.
The following option is available for density maps:
Density Map Color Gradient: Select the color theme to use to show locations on the map. For example, to display areas with a low density of locations of interest as blue and areas with a high density as red, select the color theme that changes from blue to red.
Zoom behavior on filtering: Determine whether to refit the map area displayed in the visualization when the user selects map locations.
Keep current zoom level (default): Select this option to keep the current level of magnification when locations are selected on the map.
Dynamically change zoom level: Select this option to zoom in on and refit the contents of the visualization to best display the selected locations on the map.
Show Legend: Determine whether or not a legend is displayed for the map. The legend shows the relationship between the color of each location and the metric value for that location. By default, the check box is cleared, meaning that the legend is hidden.
You can define additional formatting options, such as how to display the attribute form names and how null and zero metric values are hidden. To access these options, click More Options. For detailed descriptions of these options, see More Options dialog box.
The following options are available to format the title and background of a ESRI Map visualization:
Title: Use the following options to display and format the visualization’s title:
Show Titlebar: Select to display the visualization’s title.
Use the options for standard font formatting.
Container: Use the following options to format the border of the container in which the map is displayed:
Select the line style to use to display the borders of the container.
Select the line color to use to display the borders of the container.
You can show or hide data labels for locations or markers in the visualization. For example, if the map displays countries, you can display text showing each country’s name and its gross national product. Data labels allow you to view pertinent values or text in the visualization without having to hover the cursor over each item to view a tooltip.
The following options are available to display and format the labels on an ESRI Map visualization:
Data Labels: Select from the following. You can display both values and text simultaneously.
None (default): Do not display data labels.
Values: Show data labels using the metric values associated with each location or marker. In the example above, the gross national product is displayed for each country.
Text: Show data labels using the attribute values associated with each location or marker. In the example above, each country’s name is displayed.
Font: Use the options for standard font formatting for the data labels.
To select formatting options for an ESRI Map visualization:
Click the name of a dashboard to run it. Click the visualization to format.
On the Properties panel, select
the appropriate options to format the visualization, as described
above. Note: If the Properties
panel is not displayed, from the View
menu, select Properties Panel.
If the Properties panel is hidden behind another panel, click the
