time
hey and welcome to my Christian GV
mobile app developer Academy
this course is entitled pens and problem
at are present the steps necessary to
configure display the business the dow
on the map widget using very tight a map
markers
he can use the map widget to provide
useful and powerful visual and
geographic displays the business
information
using MicroStrategy web design and
interactive methods are create an app
widget
then I'll demonstrate the usage image in
double markers
after watching this video you should be
able to implement a working Map widget
within your document
and use an appropriate marker displaced
out depending on your particular
business key
quest ml analyze business performance at
the store situated in various
geographical location
I document use the data that that
contains description
and geographical location each store as
well I fail thea
rushed again by I have correctly paid
about stores to a document
in fifth grade by clicking on the plus
sign so that it will take
all the space in a predefined panel from
the day that
add store start latitude and star
longitude attributes to the widget
template
also I'd fail sales growth sales target
jailed for labor our and sales rank:
magic now configure the great to be
displayed as a map widget on the iPad
right click the grid and select
Properties and formatting
then select the widget option and choose
the map from the drop-down list
available mobile widget
to start looking to get the widget tell
out he's geographical coordinates and
stores
click on the widget properties icon to
open the widgets configuration editor
there are two ways that using geospatial
data in the Map widget
depending on the available data that the
first way
is to obtain the latitude and longitude
from two separate forms
a single attribute the second way is to
obtain them from two separate actually
and the optional you Zachy
under the flag location field for use
after be performed property
we choose these actually option and the
flight data
take property cheese latitude/longitude
option
the other option is point which refers
to the data type that stores the
latitude and longitude data in a single
data structure
however in this particular case it's not
useful
for latitude we select store latitude
and you guessed it for latitude we
select or longitude
additionally we need to decide which
actually be will be. as for selection
display
this property chairman what kinda data
should be displayed in the information
when to when the user select locations
in the widget
anarchy it is store actually be because
it contains description for each store
now will focus on different scenarios
the key to display
the first and simplest scenario is to
only display store locations on the map
without representing business values
visually I think image-maker
represent each store after selecting the
use image markers option
we can use one predefined markers lets
choose
retail store we apply the changes we
have made
save the document and opening
MicroStrategy mobile
now what talk about the actual display
the Map widget by default the map is
displayed at the appropriate location
and do
level defect all the stores on a single
screen in other words
it displays the geographic region with
ED about the stores exist
each store is represented with the same
image-maker however in most situations
predefined thematic
image-makers may not be suitable for
your particular type a business subject
and this case we keep on the more
universal images called pushpin
we can choose from regular rounded and
balloon pressured him
lets choose the balloon pushpin however
if the predefined
hands are not sufficient enough for a
requirement with shoes
a custom image marker
to insert it we need to use the
conditional formatting functionality
are cuffed and it will be the Stardock
get I'll
look in the images folder on the
intelligence web and mobile server
first but display a document and the
interactive mode
to use the custom image as a marker
right click on the sales magic choose
threshold
and select Advanced here we define new
threshold on the field for a check
if we want to permanently replace the
predefined market with the custom one
we should provide a condition that is
always true
for example the others greater that
equal to 0
because revenue was always a positive
value we applied
condition and then double-click on a tax
on the right side and the threshold
editor
to finally a formatting in the format
window
we enable the replaced data option
cheese image
from the drop-down list and input the
following path for the image
we click OK to apply the formatting
changes and then click OK to apply the
threshold
we save the document and check the
results and MicroStrategy mobile
as we see predefined markers have been
replaced with the customer
another scenario is to display stores
with visual indication
the single metric valium anarchy still
be sales growth metric
what are the available solutions cities
and matter to the thing
image but with different colors
representing different levels of elect
and the previous an area we selected the
predefined balloon pushpin
as the marker style so we only need to
enter custom
image marker with the red pen left
document in the interactive map and
define conditional formatting on the
field magic
which is by default responsible for the
markers visual display
even my condition is related to the
feels great magic
we delete the existing cash called for
the sales metric
and create a new one sales growth is
less than 0
after applying we define formatting
magic value is replaced with the red pen
image file
apply threshold by clicking okay
save the document and running on an iPad
ask the stores that experience a
decrease in sales
are highlighted with the red colored pen
the rest of the stores are marked with
the regular balloon pushpin
another scenario is to put am assist on
visual display
to my check at the same time and I case
those will be fail and sales growth
metrics
the solution is to use dynamic problem
occurs
and conditional formatting functionality
the dialer the first met check will be
represented by
automatically size bubbles and the value
of the fact that my check will be
represented
by the bubble color set and the
threshold editor will represent failed
as bubble size
and sales growth as double color but go
back to the design mad
open widget properties and enable the
use a bubble markers
we can additionally specify the maximum
size in the bubble and pics of
and the way and representing negative
values and the magic
negative values can be represented as
absolute values
or bubbles with size is fixed at the
level up seven pics of
however we will consider this option
head tilt values are positive numbers
click OK to apply the changes
the sales growth much it will be
represented by the bubble color
sell electronic document in the
interactive mode
and at it conditional formatting let's
not check we retain the condition
applied in the previous scenario
so sales growth is less than 0 but we
need to change the formatting properties
first we needed able to replace data
option
bubble color will change when we modify
the fill color thou on the collar
mind tap lets choose the red color then
we create a new threshold to represent
positive values
sales growth with the green color
we apply the changes by clicking OK save
the document
and opening on iPad the thighs each
bubble represent sales values for that
particular store
additionally problem putting green color
represents stores
where the field with increased over time
and London red represent decreases
using various styles unimaginable
markers combined with conditional
formatting functionality
allows us to not only show particular
location than objects on the map
but also to put visual emphasis on
business trends associated with them
this can really enhance the business
users ability to analyze data
I will not demonstrate the usage in
automatic pop-up information Mendez
and show how to define custom regions on
the map to achieve
better text readability in this neck
scenario associated with information
window functionality
let's change the fill color for the
recipe metrics
to gray a 25 percent apply the changes
say the document and open an iPad
and our final scenario we want to
analyze values at least
three magic on the map widget the best
solution is to use the automatic pop-up
information window functionality
this is standard functionality of the
Map widget which allows and users
to see that values the on HX placed on
the widget template
this functionality that require an EP
configuration
and it can be used by tapping on a
particular store on the map
as we can see the pop-up window has
appeared with the store description
and the exact values have all five
magics in the widget template
furthermore we tap on the custard said
it stores the automatic pop-up window
appears
with the listed stores that are located
in the selected area
when we choose one of the stores another
information and appears
with detailed information about this
store additionally
this new window allows us to toggle the
deal between data store situated in that
location selected previously on
to have more control over how much are
values are displayed
you need to configure custom pop-up
window which could be called
we tap on a particular location on the
map you'll not only be able to display
the data and your on custom
style but you can also embed links to
other documents or report
with detailed data on allocation you've
selected typically
let's talk about the Map widget Control
Panel functionality
this can be accessed from the bottom
right corner the map
it can be used to define custom regions
on the map and then view the property is
a bad checks
located inside these regions Perth
find the rectangular region after
to find that we can see a window on the
right side the screen that shows the
currently defined regions
in region 1 we have three markers
meaning that there are three stores
inside it
after selecting a region
another popup window displays with the
description from stores like inside it
after selecting on the store's the
detail that the selected object are
displayed in a new information window
we cannot job a circle shape region
and custom chip lead which we can define
free-form
the last option is to make a region
which will just be fast or selected on
the map
after we make our selection we tap Done
this way reform another region with a
new set of tires
when we're done working with the region
and not to delete all them
month we simply tap on the X button are
regions will disappear
if you wanna hide the control panel
which happens again
on icon and that's a wrap for this not a
course
pins and double napped
