Options – Map Chart

Option	Description
Default title	Specifies the default title for this visualization type. Tip: If you edit the title for a map chart and you want to use that title expression in all new map charts, then you can click on the Set as Default button in the Edit Title dialog directly.
Auto-zoom	Specifies whether or not auto-zoom should be enabled when creating a new map chart. If the check box is selected, the visualization is automatically zoomed in on the filtered markers or shapes. Each layer in the map chart (except the map layers) can be specified to be "Included in auto-zoom" or not, depending on whether the data or image should be taken into account or not. When using auto-zoom together with subsets and trellising, all trellis panels are taken into account, there is no individual zoom per panel.
Legend visible by default	Specifies whether or not the legend should be open when creating a new map chart.
Show search field	Specifies whether or not the search field should be visible when creating a new map chart.
Show navigation controls	Specifies whether or not the navigation controls should be visible when creating a new map chart.
Show interaction control	Specifies whether or not the interaction control should be visible when creating a new map chart.
Show scale	Specifies whether or not the scale should be visible when creating a new map chart.
Show layers control	Specifies whether or not the layers control should be visible when creating a new map chart.
Use separate color for marked items	Select this check box to use a specified marking color (default is green) for marked items in this visualization type. If the check box is cleared, then unmarked items will be faded out instead.
Coordinate Reference Systems	Opens the Coordinate Reference Systems dialog where you can specify the default coordinate reference systems for the map chart, and the layers.
Layers
Use feature layer as default data layer type	Select this to use the feature layer as the default data layer when using geocoding. If not, the marker layer will be used as default.
Default layers	Lists the default layers that always should be available when creating a new map chart.
Add	Allows you to add layers to be shown by default when creating a map chart. The layers can be feature layers based on data in the library, or web tile map layers retrieved from the standard default map layers or other Tile Map Service layers (TMS layers).
Settings	Opens the Feature Layer settings dialog, the Map Layer settings dialog, or the TMS Layer settings dialog, where you specify the settings for the selected layer.
Remove	Removes the selected layer from the list of Default layers.
Move Forward	Moves the selected layer up in the list and, hence, forward in the map chart.
Move Backward	Moves the selected layer down in the list and, hence, to the back of the map chart.
Geocoding
Load geocoding tables from library automatically	Allows you to disable all automatic loading of geocoding tables from the library. This may be desired if you are working on a slow connection, or if you always want to specify the geocoding tables to use manually.
Shape (when markers are used)
Default fixed shape	Defines which shape to use for all markers as default.
Pie sector labels (when pies are used)
Sector value	Displays the value of the sector as a label. For example, sum of sales for apples, if the sector size is defined by sum of sales and the color is defined by fruit or vegetable type.
Sector category	Displays the category defining the sector as a label. For example, "apples", if the sector color is defined by fruit or vegetable type.
Sector percentage	Displays labels showing the percentage of the total that each sector represents.
Threshold	Excludes labels whose percentage falls below a given threshold.
Decimals	Specifies the number of decimals to display for the percentage value. The number specified here will also affect the number of decimals shown for pie sectors in the tooltip.
Feature layer
Default fixed color	Specifies the default fixed color of shapes in a new feature layer.
Distance units
Metric	Uses the International System of Units (the SI system, that is, m and km) to display distances in the map.
Imperial	Uses the Imperial System of Units (mi and feet) to display distances in the map.
Nautical miles	Uses nautical miles (NM) to display distances in the map.
Map service URL	Allows you to use a local override of the default map service URL which is specified by the administrator on the server. For example, this may be desired if you need to work with maps offline. Note: A change of map service will only take effect after the program has been restarted.
Default	Use the default map service URL as specified by the administrator.
Default (https)	Use the default secure connection (TLS) map service URL as specified by the administrator.
Custom URL	Allows you to specify a custom URL. For example, you may use a local folder with maps, if you need to work offline. How to host map tiles locally and use them in Spotfire using Custom URL is described in https://community.tibco.com/wiki/tibco-spotfire-work-offline-map-using-custom-map-service-url.
Web Map Service (WMS) URL	Specify a default URL for the WMS server used in WMS layers.
Reset	Resets all properties on this page to the default values. Note that an administrator can configure which settings should be default for certain user groups on the server. If you are a member of such a group, the options on this page will be set to these defaults when you press the Reset button.
