Enhance Visualizations with Map Backgrounds
You can use map backgrounds to enhance visualizations in a workbook.
Based on the column values, a specific set of dimensions and metrics is displayed on the map visualization. You'll see either the default map background or an existing Oracle map background if no default is set.
- On the Home page, hover over a workbook, click Actions, then select Open.
- Click Visualize.
- To select a column and render it in a map view, do one of the following:
- Right-click a map-related column in the Data Element pane and click Pick Visualization, then select Map.
- Drag and drop a map-related column from the Data Element pane to the blank canvas, or between visualizations on the canvas. On the visualization toolbar, click Change Visualization Type and select Map.
- In the properties pane, click Map and specify the visualization properties.
- If you want to use a different map background, click the Background Map value in the properties pane and select a background. For example, select Google Maps, and the visualization displays Google Maps as the map background.
