Advanced Settings - Define Contents

In this settings window you decide which contents are available in the map in easymap explorer. For example, you can configure the initial standard view when opening the map or choose a base map.

Note: Please note that some of the settings are only valid for easymap explorer and others are also applied directly in easymap. The settings that are applied to the workbook are marked separately. The changes that are applied to the workbook are marked with ¹.

In this settings window, you can define which contents of your map are to be displayed in the easymap explorer should be available. For example, you can configure the initial one when calling the map folder or select one.

Structure of the Settings Window

In the left part of the settings window you can see the content of the easymap-workbook, structured and summarized according to the view in easymap explorer. The map layers are marked differently depending on availability:

Level is available in the easymap explorer and already visible when opening the card.
Level is available in the easymap explorer , initially invisible when opened, but can be switched to visible in the easymap explorer can be switched visible.

Level is available in the easymap explorer not available.

If the font for these layers is displayed in gray, you cannot change the availability (e.g. PTV maps or for area layers without colored areas).

If a layer has further sub-elements (e.g. in the basemap), an arrow pointing to the right is displayed, which lists all sub-elements by expanding it. If legends have been inserted for an analysis, the sub-element Legend is listed.

After selecting an element, you can adjust various settings for display, label or filter on the right page of the window.

Commands in the context menu

In the content overview on the left side you can call context menu commands on individual levels.

Changing the order of maps and layers

For individual layers and maps you can use the commands level down and level up to change the display order or also add a layer to the base map. If the layer is added to the base map, it cannot be made visible or invisible separately in explorer. Layers below the base map can be removed from this group with the context menu command remove from base map and used as an own layer in the content of the map, with all setting options like other layers.

Transfer settings

Would you like to transfer individual settings directly to several analyses or to all maps?

On the right-hand side, you can apply the settings made for individual properties to other layers using the context menu command Transfer to.... Select the appropriate setting, e.g. available = Yes, and then click Transmit. Another window opens, in which you can select the levels to which you want to transfer the setting.

The settings of the different map layers

Data display on the map and in tables

At easymap explorer you can display data on district layers via context-sensitive tooltips in the map. In analysis outputs and area layers, you can define exactly what should be displayed when clicking on a location in the map. You also have the option to display tables for each analysis or area layer below the map, as well as allow export of the data.

To configure the table and data displays, first select the desired level in the left area of the settings window.
