Combined Map
Combined Map scenarios are extremely helpful in displaying more than one measure on one map with different visuals, like Flow Line Layer, Bubble Layer, Area Layer, Heat Layer, etc. You can set the style and control the interaction separately.
Example: Using the Combined Map, you can show the sales amount with the area layer, and the revenue with the bubble layer.
By using the Combined Map you can meet the following requirements:
Overlay and display multiple map visuals like Area, Flow Line, Bubble, Heat, etc.
Bind the data on each map visual, and it can come from different datasets.
Customize the map style separately.
Add the jump-to and other interactions on each map visual.
Control to show or hide each map visual when viewing the dashboard. Example: you can show the Area map by default and would like to click on a button or an image component to trigger to show the Flow Line map.
Design a Combined Map
Let us create a Combined Map scenario that uses the Area to highlight the different geographical regions in the map based on their Sales and Bubbles to represent their Revenue in those regions.
Navigate to the Data Visualization tools and drag and drop the Combined Map scenario onto the dashboard designer area.
Bind Dataset to the Combined Map
With the Combined Map scenario selected, navigate to the Data Binding panel. Click the Add button, Choose Data dialog box is displayed. Select a dataset and click the OK button.
The selected dataset will be added to the dropdown list. Select the dataset to bind to the scenario. When the dataset loads successfully, the data binding panel automatically expands and displays the data attributes available for data binding.
Add a map layer: In the map field binding area, click the plus icon
to add a new map layer.
You can adjust the order of the layer Z direction. Click the menu button to the right of the layer name, and the Move Up and Down buttons will appear to adjust the Z-order of the layer. You can also drag and drop to reorder map layers. You can delete a layer using the Delete option.
Layers supported are the Area Layer, Bubble Layer, Heat Layer, Symbol Layer, Flow Line Layer, and Path Layer. Each layer can be individually bound and styled.
In this example, we have added two layers Area Layer and Bubble Layer.
Layer data binding: Expand the layer data settings to add data binding to the layer. Drag and drop the appropriate data fields. In this example, we have taken the Sum of Sales to be displayed by Area Layer and the Sum of Revenue by Bubble Layer.
The map will be displayed according to the data.
You can customize the map appearance from the Inspector tab as per your requirements and preview it.
Note: The selection status of multiple layers cannot exist simultaneously.
Customizing a Combined Map
Listed below are a few properties to customize a combined map.
Zoom Control
Set the Zoom Control to True in the Map Setting. You can set the Zoom Control text Font Color, Background Color, and Position as well.
A zoom control panel is displayed on the combined map.
On the layer editor of a particular layer, the Visible Zoom property defines the visible extent of the current layer, and the layer will be dynamically displayed and hidden when you zoom in and out of the map with the mouse in the viewer. For details refer to Visible Zoom Control as defined below in Customize Layer Style and Settings.
Drill Down Setting
You can drill down the Combined Maps based on a map layer. Select a specific layer, and drill down in the viewer.
Customize Layer Style and Settings
You can customize the Combined Map setting for each layer. On the Inspector tab, under the Map Setting, you can see the list of all the layers.
Click the pencil icon against the layer to edit the layer's style. The layer editing screen is displayed. In this example, we have selected the Area Layer.
Visible Zoom Control
As a Combined map includes multiple different types of layers, the display zoom range of different layers may be different. As the zoom changes, the display and hiding of different layers need to be controlled. Therefore, the Visible Zoom option is used to configure the visible zoom range of each layer.
The default range is between 1 to 19. When the zoom of the map changes, the layer will be dynamically displayed or hidden based on the value of this attribute.
Data Labels and Legend
The Data Labels and Legend for each layer can be shown or hidden depending on its style, and other setting options such as Data Label Font Setting or Legend Position. Each layer uses these unified options.
Show/Hide Layer with Commands
From the Click Action dropdown list, you can select any of the following options to perform an action on click: None, Show Tooltip, Keep, Exclude, Drill Down, Jump, or Command. You can configure the Click Action and Command settings separately at each layer. For example, in some scenarios, you need to interactively control whether a layer in the combined map should be displayed or hidden. The command in the command list to Show/Hide the combined map layer is used to control the display or hiding of the map layer.
Customize Appearance
You can customize the appearance of the Combined Map scenario using the Inspector Panel properties on the right side of the dashboard designer window, listed and described in the following tables.
