Procedure: How to Configure a Demographic Layer on an Esri Map
Once you have added an Esri map component to your HTML page, you can add one or more preconfigured demographic layers.
- In the Settings panel for the Esri map component, click the arrow next to the New Layer icon and select Demographic Layer, as shown in the following image.
The layer is created with a default name. You can rename the layer by clicking in the default name and typing a new name.
- Select a type of demographic layer from the Layer group pull-down list, as shown in the following image.
- Select a layer name from the Layer name pull-down list, as shown in the following image.
Note: If the layer is not freely available from Esri, you will be asked to provide your Esri credentials before the layer can be added to the map.
- Configure the layer visualizations you require, such as the transparency of the layer and the default visibility.
- Save the HTML page.
When you run the HTML page, the demographic layer is added to the map output, as shown in the following image.
Note: You may need to adjust the transparency values for each layer to make them all visible.
