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.
You can use the toolbar to control the following actions:
Expand view. | |
Reduce view. | |
Move up one level. | |
Move down one level. |
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.

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.
Selected table |
You only have the option of table selection for levels from the territory structure - here you can choose between Geographical tables and Territory work tables. |
¹ Table | Here you can rename the name of the table used for the analysis or surface plane. |
Column settings |
After clicking on Edit column settings... you can make various settings regarding display, search and filter options for analyses and territory structures. The data columns of the table on which the selected analysis is based are displayed. You can define columns for display in the easymap explorer or by setting or removing check marks, the display, search and filter options can be restricted via individual columns. You can also insert separator rows as well as separator lines for a clearer layout of the data display. You can select multiple rows by holding down Ctrl to change their settings at the same time, e.g. to set or remove checkmarks or to change the order of the columns. |
column alignment | Here you can set whether the data should be left- or right-aligned or automatically adjusted in the tooltip. |
Allow table display | Set here whether in the easymap explorer the table may be displayed. |
Allow table export | Here you can set whether the export of data in easymap explorer may be allowed. |
Data display
|
Here you can set whether and with which user interaction the data should be displayed in the Xplorer. You can suppress the data display with the None option, or display on click first, or directly on mouse over, i.e. when hovering over the map with the mouse. The behavior when clicking in the area can still be varied: click (highlighted) changes the mouse pointer to a hand symbol to emphasize that a data display is possible at this point. With click (opens link) a link defined by you will be opened. The prerequisite for this option is that there is a Href column and a Target column in the table base. These columns must be selected here. |
¹ Allow search |
Set here whether within the analysis or the area plane in the easymap explorer may be searched for. The Address search option is only available if you enable the Bing Maps street map as the background map. A Microsoft Bing Maps license can be easily purchased when ordering the easymap explorer book optionally. |
Search shows |
With the Search result option, only the exact result that is clicked on in the search results is displayed in the data window in the map. With the data display at position option, the Data display by click is simulated on the map. If you click here on a specific search result, the data window shows in the map not only the clicked result, but also the objects that are located in the immediate vicinity. You can then switch between the entries in the lower area of the data window. Example Data display at position: When searching for data in a customer table, you enter "Bonn" as the search term. In the search result all customers are listed, where "Bonn" is available in the selected column. If you now click on a search result, the map will show you further customers in the opened data window. These are all located in the immediate vicinity of the selected customer. |
¹ Allow filter | Here you set whether within the analysis in easymap explorer may be filtered. |
Filter mode |
Extended - in this mode the functions remove filter from map are available, Apply filter to map and Restore map filter are ready in the table view - switching to simple filter mode is possible in the easymap explorer possible. Single - in simple mode, filters in the table are applied directly to the corresponding analyses in the map view - switching to the advanced filter mode is possible in the easymap explorer possible. Easy forced - switching from simple filter mode to advanced mode is not possible. |

Pro - Features
This analysis allows you to display isolines around a district location, an area or all available location-based analyses on the map directly in the browser. You specify the radius of the isoline in kilometers or minutes. This analysis is useful, for example, to display "theoretical" or "ideal" catchment areas of sites and thus contrast them with the actual catchment areas or areas of responsibility.
