Combined Map

The Combined Map scenario allows you to overlay multiple map visualizations—like Area, Bubble, Heat, Flow Line, Symbol, and Path layers—on a single map, each with its own data, style, and interactions.

Why Use a Combined Map?

Overlay multiple map visuals (Area, Flow Line, Bubble, Heat, Symbol, Path).
Bind each visual to a different dataset.
Style each layer independently.
Add separate interactivity (e.g., jump-to, drill-down, click commands).
Dynamically show/hide layers (e.g., show Area layer by default, reveal Flow Line on interaction).

How to Design a Combined Map

1. Add to Dashboard

Drag the Combined Map scenario to the dashboard designer area.

2. Bind Data

Select the map → go to Data Binding panel → click Add.
Choose and bind one or more datasets.

3. Add Layers

In the map field binding area, click the ➕ icon to add a map layer.
Supported layers: Area, Bubble, Heat, Symbol, Flow Line, Path.
Reorder layers using drag-and-drop or the context menu (Z-direction).
Delete layers as needed.

4. Bind Data to Each Layer

Expand layer settings.
Drag and drop fields (e.g., Sales → Area Layer, Revenue → Bubble Layer).

5. Customize Style

Click the ✏️ icon in the Inspector panel to edit each layer’s appearance.
Customize colors, visibility range (zoom), labels, and more.

Example Use Case

Display Sales by Area Layer + Revenue by Bubble Layer

Create a dynamic, multi-layered map that:

Highlights regions based on sales.
Adds bubble sizes proportional to revenue.
Allows interactive drill-down or toggling layers.
