Data Sections

Description

Geo Point Map

The Geo Point Map dashboard item provides the Value data section, which accepts values related to geographic points. These values are displayed within map callouts.

Bubble Map

The Bubble Map dashboard item provides the Weight and Color data sections, which provide measures used to evaluate each bubble's weight and color, respectively.

The Bubble Map dashboard item automatically selects palette and scale settings used to color bubbles. To customize these settings, click the Options button next to the Color placeholder. This invokes the Color Scale Options dialog, which allows you to specify the palette and scale options. To learn how to use this dialog, see the Palette and Scale Settings paragraph in the Map Coloring topic.

Pie Map

The Pie Map dashboard item provides the Values and Argument data sections. The Values section accepts measures used to calculate pie values. The Argument section allows you to provide data for pie arguments.

If you added a data item to the Argument section and several data items to the Values section, you can use the Values drop-down menu to switch between the provided values. To invoke the Values menu, click the icon in the map's caption or use the map's context menu.

Pie Options

The Pie Map dashboard item allows you to take into account the weight of pies. In this case, the relative sizes of the pies depend on the corresponding summary values. To enable this capability, use the Weighted Pies button in the Design ribbon tab. (Click the button if you are using the toolbar menu.)
