40 Qlik Sense Map Chart

In this #qliksense video tutorial I have talked about how you can create map chart in qliksense. Maps provide an intuitive interface for visualizing geographic information for the given measures like sales or profit. #QlikSenseTutorial Maps Maps enable you to view your data geographically. A Qlik Sense map visualization consists of a base map and layers. The base map is the background for the layers of data representations - your dimensions and measures. Multiple base maps are available with Qlik Sense. The layers project your dimensions and measures either by single points or by area, enabling you to see the geography of your data. For example, if you wanted to view total sales by city, you could add a point layer of cities on a map and have the color and size of the points be determined by the total sales for stores in those cities. Maps have many ways to present your data. You can add multiple layers to your map to display different types of information on the same map. You can set a custom scope for locations so that if two locations have the same name, you display the locations and their data correctly. You can use drill-down dimensions to create a hierarchy of geographic areas for selection. You can limit the pan of a map to a specific view and scope of the map, such as a region of interest, out of which users cannot pan or zoom out. You can add custom base maps to your map and use non-WGS-84 coordinates. Layers Layers contain visualized dimension and measure data that is displayed over your map. You can stack layers on top of each other. You can also control at what zoom levels different layers appear in or have layers that appear only if other values in a drill-down dimension are selected. This enables you to create different levels of detail as you make selections and zoom in and out of areas of interest on your map. Layers can be point, area, line, density, chart, or background layers. Point layer A point layer overlays individual locations on a map, representing them with shapes. By default, point layers use circular bubbles, but you can also use several other shapes. The size of the points in your layer can be fixed or you can specify a measure or expression to set the sizes of the different points. You can highlight these differences in values further by coloring by measure. Area layer An area layer presents areas on your map, such as countries or states. With polygon geometry loaded into a field, it can present any custom area. With an area layer, each dimension value corresponds to a presented area. By using colors with your area layer, you can present different measure values for the areas. In the properties panel, under Appearance - Colors and legend, switch Colors to Custom where the options By measure and By expression are available. Line layer A line layer enables you to display lines between points on your map. For example, you can use a line layer to show aircraft flights between cities. With a line layer, you can use two fields containing point data to define the start points and end points for lines in the layer. Alternatively, you can use a field containing line geometry in either GeoJSON LineString or MultiLineString format. You can customize the width and curvature of lines in the line layer and add directional arrows to your lines. Density layer A density layer enables you to visualize the density of points in an area using a color ramp. Each point influences a circular area, with the highest influence at the center and declining towards its outer perimeter. You can specify the influence radius of the points, change its color and scale it to suit your visualization. Density layers can be used to show hotspots of activity, population densities and more. Chart layer A chart layer enables you to display small pie charts or bar charts over locations in your map. It uses one dimension to identify the locations and a second dimension to create the pie or bar charts. You can label the charts and use an expression to control their size. The info bubble displays useful information about the contents of the selected chart. Map with chart layer displaying source of funds in European Union countries as pie charts. The size of each pie chart shows average absorption rate of funds. Background layer Background layers enable you to display a custom base map for your map visualization. A background layer could, for example, be a map of an airport that then has a point layer with WIFI hotspot locations overlaid on it. If the custom base map format supports transparency, you can overlay it on top of another map. Qlik Sense supports the following custom maps formats as background layers: Slippy or tile map services (TMS) Web Map Service (WMS) Location data Maps support several ways for determining locations in a layer. Locations can be either geometries or names of locations such as names of countries, regions, cities, postal codes etc.
