Configure Mapbox Visualizations

After you've obtained the Mapbox license key, you must configure your visualization to use it in MicroStrategy Web.

1. Navigate to your parent MicroStrategy Web or MicroStrategy Library Web directory and then the plugins folder. Within this folder, create the following folder structure: ConnectorForMap\WEB-INF\xml\config.

2. Create a mapConfig.xml file.

3. Modify the file so the structure looks as shown below, inserting the Mapbox key you obtained from the MicroStrategy download site between the <tk> nodes.

   Copy

   <mc>
       <!-- ESRI map configuration -->
       <!-- <ec></ec> -->
       
       <!-- Google map configuration -->
       <!-- <gc></gc> -->
       
       <!-- MapBox configuration -->
       <mbc>
           <tk><!CDATAXXXXXX</tk>
       </mbc>
   </mc>

4. Save the file.
5. Restart the Web server.
