Configuring a map layer

For each map layer, you select the data to use and configure the display.

Selecting the view to use for the map layer
The Data Selection tab for the map layer contains the list of views from the project data. Map layers can only use views that contain a geocode attribute. The geocode attribute cannot be multi-value.
Selecting the map layer type
By default, a new map layer is a numbered point layer. After you create the layer, you can select the type of layer.
Defining the map points for the map layer
On the Points Definition tab for the map layer, you select the geocode attribute to use for the map points, and whether the map layer uses aggregated points.
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.
Selecting and configuring the details to display for each map point
On the Details Template tab for the map layer, you configure the information to display when users click a point on the map. For detail points, you can also determine whether to include a separate link to display record details.
Configuring pagination and sorting for the map layer
On the Sorting and Pagination tab for the map layer, you configure the available sort options and pagination for the layer.
Determining which map layers are visible
If you are using the default map layer configuration, then all of the automatically generated map layers are visible on the end user view of the Map component. If you are not using the default configuration, then you can control whether the layer is visible.
