THE MAPPING VIEWER
WHAT IS A MAPPING VIEWER?
The Mapping Viewer is launched in a web browser after a request has been made to the Map Intelligence server. It
displays the configured Map Intelligence layers overlaid on a map specified by the Layer Designer.
Note: The Mapping Viewer may have been configured to display in an embedded browser on
a dashboard frame.
The Mapping Viewer also provides a number of controls and features that allow you to navigate around the map or
to change the theme displayed on the map. A number of tools are also available from the Mapping Viewer that
allow you to perform high-level analysis.
ACCESSING THE MAPPING VIEWER FROM THE DASHBOARD CLIENT
Map Intelligence allows you to view a set of results from a dashboard and project them onto a geographical map
for spatial analysis.
Map Intelligence launches a Mapping Viewer from within the dashboard that displays points and relationships on a
map based on layers configured by the Layer Designer. You can slice and dice data on the dashboard and project
the desired results onto the Mapping Viewer. When viewing the map, you can analyze your data further using the
controls available from the Mapping Viewer.
The Mapping Viewer can be accessed using a button found on the top panel of the dashboard – provided that one
was configured by the Layer Designer.
The Layer Designer or Client Administrator may choose to configure alternative ways to access the
Mapping Viewer.
Map Intelligence does not verify that the layer properties set in the dashboard are valid when a
new request is made. Instead, it will report errors as it finds them. E.g. if an invalid built-in layer has
been specified for an Area Group Layer, and the layer has not been made visible, the Mapping
Viewer will not report the error when you click the Map Intelligence button. The problem will only
be reported when the map is made visible.
