Select the entire visualization or just the area you want to format.
The Editor, Filter, and Format panels are stacked together by default. Click Format to open it.
- If the Format panel is not available, from the View menu, select Editor Panel to display all three panels. Click Format to open the Format panel.

Visualization Options

Map Layout Select the base map and style.

Zoom Behavior When selecting locations on the map, choose to dynamically refit the contents for optimal display or keep the current zoom level. You can also choose to remember the current zoom level.

Data Points Select options for displaying your data points using markers, bubbles, areas, or density areas.

Legend Enable this option to display a legend on the map. This option appears if you are using thresholds to define colors.

Text and Form

Select options for text and shapes.

Title and Container

Format the visualization’s title and container (think of the container as the object that holds the visualization).

Title Bar

You can enable or disable the Title Bar.

When it is enabled, you can Customize the Visualization's Title Bar by selecting the fill color, font options, whether to display one or two lines, and personalize action buttons.

Container

Fill: Select the background color of the visualization from the palette.
Border: Select the style and color of the visualization's borders from the drop-down lists.
Beginning in Strategy One (September 2025), you can adjust the Radius of rounded corners for the container.
- Use a number between 0 and 40.
- If the current Padding is less than 50% of the updated Radius, Padding automatically increases to match 50% of the new Radius.
