Creating a Map widget<br />

Prerequisites<br />

The dataset for the map widget must meet the following requirements:<br />

• Place the attribute or attributes containing the geographical information<br />

on the rows. The attributes must provide this information in one of two<br />

ways:<br />

To provide the geographical information using attributes, you must<br />

provide one of the following:<br />

– One attribute that contains the latitude of each location <strong>and</strong> one<br />

attribute that contains the longitude of each location. For example,<br />

you can provide an attribute that has been assigned the Latitude<br />

geo role <strong>and</strong> an attribute that has been assigned the Longitude geo<br />

role.<br />

– One attribute that provides geographical information for each<br />

location as a point.<br />

To provide the geographical information using attribute forms, you<br />

must provide one of the following:<br />

– One attribute, which provides the latitude <strong>and</strong> longitude of each<br />

location using separate attribute forms. For example, you can<br />

provide an attribute that has been assigned the Country, State, Zip<br />

Code, City, or Location geo roles.<br />

– One attribute that provides geographical information for each<br />

location as a point, using a single attribute form.<br />

If<br />

you are using attribute forms, be sure that the attribute<br />

forms containing the geographical information are visible in<br />

the grid. Right-click the header of the attribute, point to<br />

Attribute Forms, then select the attribute forms you want to<br />

display.<br />
