Marker Maps
Marker maps are supported by most Self-Service Analytics data connectors. To include your data, the data for marker maps must contain latitude and longitude fields. Self-Service Analytics supports a variety of tile providers which offer an overlay design for the map visual types available in the program. These include: OpenStreetMap, MapQuest, and MapBox. MapQuest and MapBox require an API key.If you select OpenStreetMap as your tile provider, you can optionally set a custom URL. See the Global Settings tab.
Show Coordinates Int Tooltip.
You can disable the Limit property to allow processing of all available data instead of limiting the rows processed to a user-defined number.
To edit the number format for this visual, edit Tooltip Fields in the Settings sidebar menu. See Number and Date Formatting for Visuals.
US Region Maps
US region maps are based on up to three attributes (state name, county, and zip code) and one metric. They are supported by most Self-Service Analytics data connectors, however the data must include state names to see results.- The state name must be spelled out with the first letter capitalized. For example, California is an accepted format, not CA. For a list of valid state names, see State Name Reference.
- County names and zip codes can also be used to display results at the county and zip code level. These fields are not required: hide these values by selecting None for these fields in the Settings sidebar menu.
To edit the number format for this visual, see Number and Date Formatting for Visuals.
Use the Drill Down Function
If your US region map includes county and zip codes in your data, you can use the drill down function (formerly zoom) to display county and zip code-level results within a state. Drill down in to a county or zip code- On your US region map, select a state. Select Zoom in the context menu. The map zooms in to the level of state counties.
- On the state, select a county within the state. Select Zoom in the context menu. The map zooms in to the level of zip codes within that county.
World Maps
World maps are based on one attribute (country name) and two metrics. They are supported by most Self-Service Analytics data connectors, however the data must include country names to see results.To edit the number format for this visual, see Number and Date Formatting for Visuals.

Additionally, if you specified a Manual threshold mode, you can select the thresholds used for color settings in the visual. - Close the Color sidebar and the color settings are dynamically applied to the visual.
- Select the save icon to save the dashboard and the visual with its updated settings.
Understand Visual Color Condition Thresholds
You can set threshold color conditions for metric-based visuals. At least two color settings are required. In addition, thresholds are specified between each color setting. (So three color settings require two threshold settings; four color settings require three threshold settings, etc.)- The color for Color 1 is used when the value of the color metric is less than the first threshold value.
- The color for Color 2 is used when the value of the color metric falls between the first and second threshold values.
- If only three colors are used for the visual, the color for Color 3 is used when the value of the color metric is greater than or equal to the second threshold value. If more than three colors are used, the color for Color 3 is used when the value of the color metric falls between the second and third threshold values. When more than three colors are used, the colors continue to be applied in this pattern for all threshold settings; any color metric values greater than the last threshold setting have the final color applied.
