To display data in a widget, you must assign the relevant data source columns to the required widget elements. For example, you can select a data column to display its values as dimension values on the X-axis.
A map with markers allows you to mark points of interest on a map based on geo-coordinates (latitude & longitude) defined in the assigned data.
Prerequisite
You have assigned a data source to the widget.
Procedure
Click a Map with markers widget on the dashboard. The relevant properties dialog is displayed.
Click Assign data to edit the data source assignment.
The Assign data (2/2) dialog is displayed.
Assign a data column containing marker identifiers to the ID element using drag and drop.
Assign a data column of numeric type to the Latitude element using drag and drop. The assigned column should contain the required latitudes for the markers.
Assign a data column of numeric type to the Longitude element using drag and drop. The assigned column should contain the required longitudes for the markers.
Assign a data column of numeric, or text type to the Marker value element using drag and drop. The element provides numeric or text values for the corresponding markers.
Assign a data column of numeric, text, or date type to the Marker label element using drag and drop. The element provides labels for the corresponding markers.
The data source columns are assigned to the widget elements.
You can further configure the widget as follows:
