1. On the map, ensure the map controls are displayed. If this is a new map, the Add Map Layer form is shown by default. In this case, you can proceed directly to step 4.
2. Click Show Layers.
3. In the Layers section of the map controls, click Add. You see the Add Map Layer form.

4. To create a new layer, click New Layer, then select the category of layer you want to create. Follow the steps in Create new map layers.

5. For existing layers, navigate to the category of layer you want to add:
   • Points – These layers include locations, such as Sites, Customers, and Transportation Stops.
   • Connections – These layers are the flows between locations, such as Customer Flows and Transportation Routes.
   • Shapes – These layers display additional information, such as geopolitical boundaries. You can select one of: Shaded Area Map, Shape File or Service Area Layer.
6. Optionally, filter the list of Available Layers.
7. Select the check box for each layer you want to display. You can select one or more layers from the Points and Connections categories to add at one time.
8. Click Add.
9. Once layers have been added, use the check box next to the layer name to control whether or not the layer is displayed.
10. Drag and drop layer names to control the order in which the layers are displayed. The layer at the top of the list is rendered on top of the display, with remaining layers displayed in descending order. That is, the information for the first layer in the list will be displayed on top of other layer information. You can adjust the display order to control the information that is displayed on top.

You can create new point, connection and shape layers. Point and connection layers can be based on any input table, output table, user defined table or view. The requirements are:

• Point layer - Layer Name, Data Source and Location Property (such as a site or customer that can be displayed on the map)
• Connection layer - Layer Name, Data Source, Source Property and Destination Property, where the two properties are locations such as a site or customer.

1. On the map, click Show Layers.
2. In the Layers section of the map controls, click Add. You see the Add Map Layer form.
3. Click New Layer, then select the category of layer you want to create (Point Layer, Connection Layer or Shape Layer).
4. For point layers, enter/select:
   • Layer Name
   • Data Source - This can be one of the following: input table, output table, user defined table, view. The data source must include at least one column that can be used as the Location Property. This is a site or customer.
   • Location Property - Select the column that is used to locate the record on the map. It will be a site or customer.

5. For connection layers, enter/select:

   • Layer Name
   • Data Source - This can be one of the following: input table, output table, user defined table, view. The data source must include at least one column that can be used as the Location Property. This is a site or customer.
   • Source Property - Select the column that is used to locate the start of the flow on the map. It will be a site or customer.
   • Destination Property - Select the column that is used to locate the end of the flow on the map. It will be a site or customer.
6. For shape layers, refer to Shape layers to learn how to create a new layer.
7. Click Add. The layer is created and is added to the appropriate category of available layers. You can now select the layer and click Add.

For example, you can create a map layer based on a view using the Cost To Serve Details output table. In this case, we'll call the view "Cost To Serve View" and include the following columns in the view configuration:

• Finished Good
• Start Location Name
• End Location Name
• Total Cost

On the map, follow the steps above to create a new connections layer with the following values:

• Data Source - Cost To Serve View
• Source Property - Start Location Name
• Destination Property - End Location Name

Once you have added the new layer to the map, you can optionally add a scale differentiator based on Total Cost.

You can delete layers you have created as described in Create new map layers. You cannot delete the pre-defined points and connections layers. Deleting a layer removes is from any maps on which it was included.

1. Click Show Layers.
2. In the Layers section of the map controls, click Add. You see the Add Map Layer form.
3. Click the delete icon for the user defined map you want to delete. You are asked to confirm the deletion.
4. Click OK. The layer definition is removed. This affects all maps that included the layer.

When you open a map that included the deleted layer, you will see a message indicating the layer has been removed.

1. Click the edit icon for the map layer you want to configure. You see the Edit Markers form.

   The Differentiate field may be set to a default. If you want to differentiate by one or more fields, or scale the marker by the value in a selected field, see Differentiating map markers.

   The Icon List displays a column for each field being used in the Differentiate list. A marker is shown next to each unique combination of Differentiate values.

2. Select one or more rows in the Marker column for the marker you want to configure. Use Select All to select all markers.

5. Click Apply.

1. Click the edit icon for the map layer you want to configure. You see the Icon Editing form. The Differentiate list identifies which column(s) are being used to differentiate marker display. The Icon List displays the set of column values for each column used to differentiate. A marker is shown next to each unique combination of column values.
2. If you want to configure additional columns to differentiate your markers, click Add, then select Categorize and click Add.
3. Next, select the Field Name for the new marker from the drop-down list and click OK.

   For example, for the Sites table, you have the first Differentiate field set to “By Type”. In this case, “Existing Site” and “Potential Site” each have a unique marker:

   
4. Next, click Add, then select Categorize and click Add. Select “By Country” as a second Differentiate column. Now each unique combination of Type and Country has a unique marker. You can then set the display of the marker for each of these combinations.

   

5. You can remove any Differentiate field by clicking Delete next to the field.
6. Select one or more markers, then click Edit to configure the Map layers.

1. Click the edit icon for the map layer you want to configure. You see the Icon Editing form. The Differentiate list identifies which column(s) are being used to differentiate marker display. The Icon List displays the set of column values for each column used to differentiate. A Marker is shown next to each unique combination of column values.
2. If you want to configure additional columns to differentiate your markers, click Add, then select Scale and click Add.
3. Next, select the Field Name for the new marker from the drop-down list.
4. If desired, change the value for the Number of Scaling Bands. The default value is 7. You can enter a value between 2 and 7.
5. You can optionally edit the Maximum Value for any of the scale bands except the last one. The Maximum Value of a band must be greater than the Maximum Value of the preceding band.
6. Click OK.

   For example, for the Customer Summary Sites table, you want to scale the marker based on the Total Demand for each customer. On the Edit Scale window, select “Total Demand” from the drop-down list of fields. In this case, the customers with the lowest demand will have map markers of the smallest size.

7. You can remove any Differentiate field by clicking Delete next to the field.
8. Select one or more markers, then click Edit to configure the Map layers.

If the table used for the map layer is currently filtered and you edit the Maximum Values for the scale bands, you can observe duplicate bands. This occurs when the actual maximum for the filtered data is less than two or more of the Maximum Values. To resolve this, reduce the number of scale bands or adjust the Maximum Values to be smaller than the actual maximum. Only the final Maximum Value should be greater than the filtered maximum.

1. Click the edit icon for the map layer you want to configure. You see the Icon Editing form. The Differentiate list identifies which column(s) are being used to differentiate marker display. The Icon List displays the set of column values for each column used to differentiate. A marker is shown next to each unique combination of column values.
2. Click the edit icon for the differentiate item you want to edit. The current differentiate definition is displayed. You can change the field by which to differentiate, and if you are using Scale, you can adjust the Number of Scaling Bands and their Maximum Values.
