Parameter

Description

Visible

(VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether the map layer is visible.

Data Provider

(DATA_PROVIDER_REF)

You use this parameter to assign a data provider to the map layer. The map layer gets the data and metadata that it needs to generate the output and commands from this data provider.

We recommend that you keep to the conventions supported by the Web Application Designer when specifying names: The name should be a maximum of 30 characters long and consist of characters “A-Z”, “0-9” and “_”, but cannot start or end with “_”. Adhering to these conventions facilitates the upgrade to future SAP releases.

Number of Classes

(CLASSES)

You use this parameter to determine the number of color levels.

Color Settings

(COLOR_SETTINGS)

This parameter contains the following additional parameters for you to set:

●     Initial Color (COLOR_START)

You use this parameter to determine the color of the symbol that represents the smallest data value of the connected data provider. You select the color value in a color selection dialog box.

●     End Color (COLOR_END)

You use this parameter to determine the color of the symbol that represents the largest data value of the connected data provider. You select the color value in a color selection dialog box.

●     Color Interpolation
(COLOR_INTERPOLATION)

RGB color value, HSB (color area)

You use this parameter to define the color interpolation method. Colors between the start and the end color are interpolated linearly.

Color List

(COLOR_LIST)

You use this parameter to enter color values.

Color (No Data Available)

(COLOR_NONE)

You use this parameter to define a color value to be used to fill all regions of a map for which no data is available in the connected data source. You select the color value in a color selection dialog box.

Caption

(CAPTION)

This parameter allows you to use the text input dialog box to assign a name to the map layer.

Tooltips for Map Layers

(TOOLTIPS_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether a tooltip text is to be displayed for the map layers.

Breaks Distributed Evenly
(BREAKS_DISTRIBUTED)

You use this parameter to set even distribution for color shadings.

List of Breaks

(BREAK_LIST)

You use this parameter to enter individual class boundaries.

Label Display

(LABEL_DISPLAY)

You use this parameter to determine whether labels should be displayed and, if so, how they should be displayed. There are the following options:

●     No Label (NONE)

●     Text as Label (TEXT)

●     Key as Label (KEY)

●     Value as Label (VALUE)

Highlighted Labels

(LABELS_HIGHLIGHTED)

You use this parameter to determine whether labels of map layers are to be highlighted.

Legend Visible

(LEGEND_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to determine whether a legend is to be displayed for the map.

Legend Caption

(LEGEND_CAPTION)

This parameter allows you to use the text input dialog box to assign a heading to the legend of the map.

Affected Data Provider

(LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST)

You use this parameter to create a list of data providers to which all commands of the map layer are sent.

For each entry in the data provider list, you choose a data provider for the Affected Data Provider parameter (LINKED_DATA_PROVIDER_REF).

Note that you cannot create data providers in the parameter dialog - you have to create them beforehand.

Display Exceptions

(EXCEPTIONS_VISIBLE)

You use this parameter to specify whether exceptions that are activated for the base data provider are to be displayed. See also: Displaying Exceptions in Maps and Charts.

Attribute

(DISPLAY_ATTRIBUTE)

You use this parameter to enter the name of a characteristic attribute whose value is to be displayed on the map.
