Create a Map

To create a map in the dashboard, add or edit a dashboard item (Editing Dashboards).

In the visualization editor, open the Visualization Type dropdown and select Map.

The following options are available to configure the map:

Base Map

A list of available basemaps for the map.

Layer Controls

Determines whether a layer control panel is shown, allowing users to toggle layer visibility.

Layers

A table summarizes the configured layers for the map. To add a new layer, click “Add Layer” and complete the necessary configurations. Once saved, layers appear in the table, where they can also be deleted or edited. See the Configure a Map Layer section for more details.

You can also reorder layers in this table to change their rendering order.

Map Extent

Choose either “Use the Previewed Map Extent” (the map zooms to the current view) or “Use a Custom Extent” (enter minimum and maximum latitude/longitude values and optionally an extent variable name).

Map Drawing

Map drawing lets you add features directly to the map:

Drawn Feature Limit: Maximum number of items that can be drawn.
Allowed Types: Select which shapes can be drawn: Point, LineString, Polygon, Rectangle.
Variable Name: Save drawings under a variable name for use in other visualizations.
