Hi,
i was able to make the svg map running. But now I am confused because I dont know how to mange what it shows in the screen. It shows things like alarm Color and so on. How can I define what I want to show?
Thank you
In the SVG Map object in Board, the elements such as Alarm Color, Labels, Values, and Tooltips are not fixed by the SVG itself. Instead, they are controlled through the object configuration and the cubes that are linked to the map. Once the mapping and cube configuration are defined, the map will dynamically display the data.
Below are the main steps to control what appears on the screen:
1. Entity Mapping The first step is to ensure that the shapes in the SVG file are correctly linked to an entity in the system (for example: Store, Region, Country, Warehouse, etc.). Each shape in the SVG must have an ID that matches the entity member code in Board. This mapping allows the system to associate each shape on the map with the corresponding data.
For example, if the SVG represents stores, the shape IDs should match the Store codes defined in the Store entity.
2. Defining the Value Source (Cube) The data displayed on the map is driven by a cube. In the SVG Map object configuration, you need to specify which cube should be used as the value source.
This cube determines what metric the map will visualize, such as:
Once the cube is selected, Board will retrieve the value for each entity and associate it with the corresponding shape in the SVG.
3. Alarm Colors and Thresholds The colors shown on the map (Alarm Colors) are defined using thresholds. These thresholds determine how the shapes should be colored based on the values coming from the cube.
For example:
This helps visually highlight performance or exceptions directly on the map.
4. Labels and Tooltips You can also configure what information should appear when hovering over or displaying labels on the shapes. Typically, this may include:
This makes the map more informative and allows users to quickly understand the data behind each location.
Once the entity mapping, value cube, and alarm rules are properly configured, the SVG map will automatically reflect the corresponding data and update dynamically based on the current selections or filters applied in the screen.
Thanks!
thanks a lot. My question refers to number 4 in your list. At the moment it shows all information used for the map including alarm color, which makes for the recipient no sense. And I havent understood yet, how to influence what the map shows by hovering over the map. how can I manage that?
Thanks again.
