Editor Panel for a Map Visualization

The Editor panel for a map visualization contains a list of all the attributes and metrics that appear on the map.

See the following topics for more information on data requirements for each type of visualization:

Access

Open an existing dashboard that contains the geospatial service visualization you want to edit.
Select the map visualization in the dashboard.
In the left toolbar, click Editor .
To add data to your map visualization, drag attributes or metrics from the Datasets panel to the Editor panel. A blue indicator line appears in the area to which you add the attribute or metric.

Fields

Layers: Add layers to map visualizations, so that different metrics can be viewed on a single map, supporting a combination of different graphic types on the same map. Layers can be viewed all at once for a combined visualization, or they can be isolated so that each layer can be viewed independently.

Geo Attribute: Provides locations using one attribute that is assigned a geo role, for which MicroStrategy automatically adds the latitude and longitude information. Web automatically detects the latitude and longitude attribute forms and displays their names in the Latitude and Longitude areas.

Latitude: Provides locations in the map using separate attributes for latitude and longitude. If you provide a geo attribute, this area is populated automatically. This option is available for map markers and density maps.

Longitude: Provides locations in the map using separate attributes for latitude and longitude. If you provide a geo attribute, this area is populated automatically. This option is available for map markers and density maps.

Slice: Displays a pie graph with a slice for each element in an attribute. This option is available for bubble markers.

Angle: Displays a pie graph with a proportional slice for each element in a metric. This option is available for bubble markers.

Color By: Displays map markers or areas in different colors based on the value of a metric. This option is available for map markers and area maps.

Size By: Sizes bubble markers based on the value of a metric. Bubbles with larger metric values appear larger than bubbles with smaller metric values.

Tooltip: Displays additional metric or attribute information in a tooltip when you click an area in the visualization.
