Use

Once you have attached a map to your Web application using the BEx Web Application Designer, you can analyze your business data geographically. There are several navigation options available within a map on the context menu, as well as various interactive options for other items of your Web application. These all help to simplify your geographical analysis.

Prerequisites

You have created a Web application containing a map in the BEx Web Application Designer.

Note

At least one more Web item (for example, a table) has to be attached for you to be able to use the interactive functions. You can control this item using the map.

To use the geographical filter functions, executed by clicking on the map renderer object, the parameters IMAGEMAP_PATTERN and INFLUENCED_DP_X have to be created in the HTML code for the Web template (see Example of Interaction in Maps).

Features

The context menu for maps contains all the standard menu entries (see Navigation and Navigation Functions). The following two functions differ from those in the standard menu and provide special functions for use with maps:
