Dashboard Map configuration (Map Layer Tag groups)

Note: Access to the Dashboard Map screen requires the role 'Dataflow/Dashboard Map' (see Roles).

The Dashboard Map configuration screen is used to create and modify groups of map layer tags for the Dashboard Map. A tag must be made a member of at least one group to display the tagged layers in the Dashboard Map (i.e., for the contents of a map layer in a document to be visible in the Dashboard Map then the layer must have at least one tag applied to it, and the tag that is used must be a member of at least one tag group).

You cannot add or change the map layer tags themselves in this screen: use the Tags management screen (see Tags). The layer tag groups are not shown in the Tags screen. And this screen does not show if a tag is Active or Inactive.

A map layer tag can belong to more than group.

To open the configuration screen, click the Dashboard Map button on the ribbon. For example:

Groups can appear with expanded or collapsed contents, using the + and - buttons at the left-hand side.

To create a new group, click in the grey area Click here to add new item at the top of the Group Name column, enter a name, and press ENTER. To rename a group, click in its name field and edit. To delete a group, click the X button next to its name.

To add a map layer tag to a group, click in the grey area Click here to add new item inside the group, and select a tag. To remove a tag from a group, click the X button next to its name. A tag can belong to more than group.

Click the Save button in the Dashboard Map Tools tab on the ribbon to save changes.
