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. Note: To be able to zoom and pan using the navigation controls or keyboard shortcuts, Auto-zoom must be deselected. |
Legend

Specifies whether or not the legend should be open when creating a new map chart. |
Show

Specifies whether or not the navigation controls should be visible when creating a new map chart. |
Show

Layers
and geocoding |

Opens the Feature Layer Settings dialog or the Map Layer Settings dialog, that let 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

|
Default
fixed shape |
Defines which shape to use for all markers as default. |
Pie

Sector
percentage |

layer |
|
Default
fixed color |
Specifies the default fixed color of shapes in a new feature layer. |
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. |
Custom
URL |
Allows you to specify a custom URL. For example, you may use a local folder with maps on the form file:///C:\\Maps, if you need to work offline. |
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. |
