Associate a Dataset with Map Layer Shapes Drawn on an Uploaded Image

You can associate a dataset with the map background layer shapes that you drew on an uploaded image, and use it in a workbook.

  1. On your home page, click Create to bring in a dataset file that you want to associate with your map background.

    For example, you might select motorbike.xls to create a motorcycle dataset with a PartID key column containing values that match the part names of the shapes that you drew.

  2. In the key column of the dataset, click Options, select Location Details, choose the custom map layer, and click OK to assign the key column to the selected map layer.
  3. Create a workbook.
  4. Drag and drop the key column into the visualization. This automatically places the column into Category (Location).

    A map visualization is suggested based on the key column, and the associated map background is displayed.

  5. Continue to add columns, and create visualizations as required.
  6. Click Save.
