Set the Initial View Ports for Map Views

You can set the initial view port (the initial center of the map and zoom level) when a map view is first loaded or refreshed in a browser.

Open the map view:
1. Open the analysis for editing.
2. Click the Results tab of the analysis editor.
3. Click View Properties.

In the Initial Map View section of the Interaction tab, select the appropriate value:

Field	Description
Dynamic	Specifies that the map is zoomed or panned to the actual data on the map. This option focuses on the content that the user has added to the map view. This option is preferable for the initial displaying of the map view and for refreshing the map view, because it tries to display all BI content. This setting doesn’t affect the printing of maps, because the coordinates and zoom level control all WYSIWYG interaction. The map is zoomed to the maximum zoom-level that still allows the content to fit on the map. This zoom-level might exceed the minimum and maximum visible zoom-levels that are specified for this layer in the Edit Background Map dialog. If the minimum and maximum visible zoom-levels are exceeded, then the format is hidden.
Last Saved	Specifies that the map is displayed at the last saved map center and zoom level. This option focuses on the last map window that was viewed. The display is based on the X (longitude) and (Y) latitude center coordinates and on the zoom level. While you can select this option for the initial view port, this option is preferable and is always used for printing maps and other WYSIWYG interactions.
