3.10.4.4 Applying Predefined Colors to a Map Layer

Using a column with predefined color codes or values, you can create accurate and consistent choropleth map layers.

You can store a color-coded value in a column of your dataset and then use this column property to color code your map.

The following steps enable you to color code your map layer.

The instructions assume that the map layer displayed on your Active Project page uses a dataset having a column property that contains color-coded values.

1. Click against the map layer in the Layers tab of the Layers List.
2. Select Settings in the context menu.
3. Configure Style by selecting Column with color codes for the Color value under Fill.
4. Select the Column that contains the color value.
   The following figure shows the styling of the map layer using the color variable in the dataset:
