The GeoAnalytics Map chart provides a map background for Layer charts that might contain Qlik Sense data.
The layers are presented on top of the map chart and not in their own space on the sheet.
It is the layers that uses dimensions and measures from the Qlik Sense data, not the map chart.
Map Settings
At the top there is a link to documentation for GeoAnalytics for Qlik Sense, including this document.
Property | Use | Description |

Server URL | default: |
URL to Qlik GeoAnalytics server.
When running a standard installation with maps hosted by Qlik, this need not be changed.
It will use https if the page uses https otherwise http. You need to reload the app after changing this value.
It is recommended that this property is left empty. Then the extension will use the custom server URL that can be configured during installation of GeoAnalytics for Sense Server if specified, otherwise it will connect to the server in cloud.

A Bubble Layer displays symbols (circles, other shapes or symbols from an URL) and optionally labels at an
GeoAnalytics Map.
Size and color can be controlled by measures, labels and pop-up information by expressions.
The position can be specified either as location ids (common names such as country codes, state codes, city names, postal codes etc) or latitude, longitude values.
ID
The dimension represents an identity of the the point. It can also be used as the location id, see "Location Options".
Location, Size
These are the measures. When coordinates are available specify measures like this:
- latitude - the latitude of the point (WGS 84)
- longitude - the longitude of the point (WGS 84)
- size - a numeric measure that controls size, by default the size is auto scaled between the lowest and highest value
When location IDs are available specify measures like this:
- Location ID - an identifier that can be used for looking up a location (see Location Options)
- size - a numeric measure that controls size, by default the size is auto scaled between the lowest and highest value
Layer Options
Property | Use | Description |

See Map Id in Map Settings of the Map to get the right one.
|
Maximum Number of Objects | default:1000 |
To display more than a thousand object increase this value.
There will be a warning if there are more objects to display.
|
Calculation Condition | required |
To limit when the layer is shown you can enter a caluclation condition as an expression.

|
Restrict Drill Down | default:0-16 |
When the dimension is a drill down group it is possible to restrict the layer to be active only for a a range of levels.
This makes it easy to create different layers that are active in the different levels of the drill down. The top level is number 0.
The range selected specifies at what levels the layer should be visible.
|
Include in Auto Zoom | default:Yes |
Determines if the layer should be included when calculating area to zoom to when automatically zooming to selections.

Heatmap Layers, Line Layers, Bubble Layers. To make this layer draw in another category, adjust this value.
This property is only visible when "Draw Order" is set to "Custom".
|
Draw Order Adjustment | default:0 |
Increasing this value makes the layer draw later, i.e. be more visible in the category.
Allowed values are in the range -10 to 10.
If you want the layer to be on top of other layers in the same category increase this value,
if you want it to be overdrawn by other layers in the category decrease it.
This property is only visible when "Draw Order" is set to "Custom".
|
Location Options
Location information is either specified as longitude, latitude pairs, as identities that are looked up in an external service or as sense geometries.
When the term "Location ID" is used below it means it can be a sense geometry or an identity looked up else where.
When it starts with a "[" it is assumed to be a geometry in a string ([long,lat] is a point, [[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...] is a line,
[[[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...]] is a multi-line or a polygon with multiple rings, [[[[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...]]] is a multi-polygon but also accepted as a multi-line).
The external service can be something as simple as a geometry file or a more complex server based service.
The server based services provide a syntax for specifying more information on identities to minimize false hits.
For instance containing areas and types of features can be specified.
The following is the city Hamburg in Germany:
Hamburg,DE
and this is Hamburg in Sweden:
Hamburg,SE
If you actually wanted the first order administrative area in Germany named Hamburg you also need to specify a type:
Hamburg:AADM1,DE
You can also specify multiple areas when needed. For instance in USA there are many Hamburg. To get the one in Arkansas specify:
Hamburg,AR,US
See
Location Service Specification
for more information on syntax to use.
When there are unresolved names a warning is displayed in the upper left corner of the map.

A Chart Layer displays pie charts or bar charts at geographic locations. It takes one dimension to identify the point and one dimension for the diagram.
A measure controls the size of the bars or pies.
Example: Assume you have data with employment rate for postal code areas for a range of years.
You then use the postal code as the first dimension as it identifies the location.
As the second you put the year. Use the employment rate value as the measure
The the layer will display a small bar chart for each postal area that shows the employment rate for each year and location.
Typically one dimension is a location id such as a postal code and the second is something that can be used on the x-axis in a diagram, such as year.
A measure controls the length of the bars or size of the pie slices, such as employment.
The max number of data points used for the charts (i.e. bars / slices) is 10 times the max number of objects as specified in the layer settings.
So if each chart needs more than 10 bars or slices that value needs to be set accordingly, higher than the number of charts.
For pie charts you can add an additional measure to control the size of the pies.
Note that this measure works just over the first dimension so that it works as in bubble layer.
That way the expression produces one value per pie, not one value per pie slice.
The size is scaled linearly between the min radius and max radius specified under Appearance: Presentation.
Dimensions
The first dimension represents an identity of the the point. It can also be used as the location id, see "Location Options".
The second dimension is the dimension of the pie or bar chart at each point.
Measures
These are the measures. When coordinates are available (i.e. location source is
longitude,latitude) specify measures like this:
- latitude - the latitude of the point (WGS 84)
- longitude - the longitude of the point (WGS 84)
- value - the value that is used in the pie or bar charts
- pie size value - optional measure that controls the size of the pies
When location IDs are available as a measures (i.e. location source is
measure), specify like this:
- Location ID - an identifier that can be used for looking up a location (see Location Options)
- value - the value that is used in the pie or bar charts
- pie size value - optional measure that controls the size of the pies
When location IDs are available as the first dimension (i.e. location source is
dimension), specify like this:
- value - the value that is used in the pie or bar charts
- pie size value - optional measure that controls the size of the pies
Sorting
Standard Qlik sorting options that affect the order of pies or bars.

Location Options
Location information is either specified as longitude, latitude pairs, as identities that are looked up in an external service or as sense geometries.
When the term "Location ID" is used below it means it can be a sense geometry or an identity looked up else where.
When it starts with a "[" it is assumed to be a geometry in a string ([long,lat] is a point, [[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...] is a line,
[[[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...]] is a multi-line or a polygon with multiple rings, [[[[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...]]] is a multi-polygon but also accepted as a multi-line).
The external service can be something as simple as a geometry file or a more complex server based service.
The server based services provide a syntax for specifying more information on identities to minimize false hits.
For instance containing areas and types of features can be specified.
The following is the city Hamburg in Germany:
Hamburg,DE
and this is Hamburg in Sweden:
Hamburg,SE
If you actually wanted the first order administrative area in Germany named Hamburg you also need to specify a type:
Hamburg:AADM1,DE
You can also specify multiple areas when needed. For instance in USA there are many Hamburg. To get the one in Arkansas specify:
Hamburg,AR,US
See
Location Service Specification
for more information on syntax to use.
When there are unresolved names a warning is displayed in the upper left corner of the map.

Note that when a file is loaded, it is always loaded via the GeoAnalytics server (as a proxy) to avoid javascript restrictions on cross-origin loading.
|
Location Service Type | default:Geometry service |
The type of service used for location ID lookup.
|
Source Key Attribute | optional |
The attribute in a geometry file to use as the location ID. This field is only visible when a file based geometry service is selected.
|
Advanced Location | default:false |
The advanced location toggle controls whether to use Advanced Loction, in essence whether to use Location ID Suffix or to use Country and Type.
|
Country | default:any |
The Country dropdown can be used to narrow down a lookup of a location id.
Using Country is a simplified way of using Location ID Suffix (see below).
|
Type | default:any |
The Type dropdown can be used to narrow down a lookup of a location id.
Using Country is a simplified way of using Location ID Suffix (see below).
|
Location ID Suffix | default: |
The specified string is appended to all IDs.
This is a convenient way to specify more information to server based location services such as country code or type.
The alternative is to use an expression in the measure that appends extra information.
With the following suffix all items are specified to be cities in Sweden:
:P*,SE
See
Location Service Specification
for more information on syntax to use.
|
Manual Remap | default: |
This provides an easy fix for incorrect location IDs. To change them to something else use a syntax like:
"value1":"remapped value1", "value2":"remapped value2", ... |
Geometry Attribute | default:the_geom |
The name of the attribute that contains the geometry (without name space).
This field is only visible when Location Service Type is GML/WFS.
|
Reverse Coordinates | default:unchecked |
Coordinates are expected in order latitude, longitude or Y, X.
Check when coordinates comes in the other order.
This field is only visible when Location Service Type is GML/WFS.

|
Radius Unit | default:pixels |
Available values are pixels and meters.
|
Scale | default:Auto |
When set to "Auto" the intensity is adjusted so that the max value is mapped to the highest color in the color ramp.
When Custom, an intensity of 1 is mapped to the highest color.
Note that the visualization changes when panning or zooming to adjust the highest intensity to the highest color.
If you want a visualization that is constant during pans, zooms and changes of the selection, set this property to "Custom".
|
Weight Factor | default:1 |
This option is only visible when "Scale" is "Custom". Multiplies all source values with a constant.
The same effect can be achieved by multiplying the measure with the same constant.
|
Color Mode | default:Auto |
Switch that sets colors to Auto, the default colors, or Custom, where colors can be specified.
|
Colors | default:"a transparent-turquoise-green yellow-red color ramp" |
The colors to use when coloring the heat map, in CSS format (e.g. red, #C0FFEE, rgba(31,41,59,0.26)) with commas between.
For instance specifying "rgb(255,255,255),rgb(255,0,0)" would produce a color ramp between white and red.
Should contain at least two values.
The heat map creates linear gradients between the colors unless you specify values in Color distribution.
This property is only visible when Color mode is Custom.
|
Color Distribution | default: |
How the colors specified in Colors should be distributed along the color ramp.
There must be one value per color.
First must be 0 and last 1. If no value is specified the colors are distributed evenly.
This property is only visible when Color mode is Custom.

A Geodata Layer displays background map data at an GeoAnalytics Map.
It is statically visualized and not depending on the current selection.
It is intended for custom background map data from external sources.
Several kinds of map data can be accessed, like vector data, tiled raster or on-demand rendered raster, see "Source Format" below.
Data can be in files on the internet of come from online services.
Note that the coordinate system of the external data must be the same as for the base map (default WGS-84).
Geodata Options
Property | Use | Description |
---|
Source URL | required |
URL to geodata in specified format.
When a tiled service is selected as Source Format, the variables {level}, {x}, {y} can be used for selecting the correct tile.
|
Source Format | default:GeoJSON |
The format of geodata. The currently supported formats are:
- GeoJSON file - a file based format for vector data.
GeoJSON is a common format that is supported by many external tools.
- GML/WFS file - a file based format for vector data.
GML is a standardized geographic format which also is used as return
format from WFS servers.
This makes it possible to access online vector map data where query parameters can be specified in the URL.
- WMS - a standard for on-demand, server rendered maps.
Specify all WMS parameters in the URL except version, crs, width, height, and bbox which are appended automatically.
A URL could look like this:
http://example.com/geo/WMS?LAYERS=l1,l2&FORMAT=image/png&NAME=wms123&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS - TMS - a tiled vector service (sometimes also called a slippy map or XYZ map).
Use {level}, {x}, {y} in the URL for selecting the correct tile.
You can also use {quadkey} for selecting the correct tile when getting tiles from a Bing map server.
- Qlik GetMap - Qlik tiled raster service with standard parameters.
|
Styles | default:{"type":"polygon", "color":"white", "outline":"blue"},{"type":"line", "color":"green", "width":"1"},{"type":"symbol", "icon":{ "url" : "i://icons/images/dropgreen.png"}} |
Describes how vector data should be visualized.
The format used is the same as in the Qlik WebMap5, see
Qlik WebMap5 API Documentation, FeatureLayer.
This field is only visible when a vector based format is selected such as GeoJSON.
|
Load Via Server | default:false |
To avoid problems that the browser does not allow loading content from different hosts (CORS) this option can be checked.
It will then load the file via the GeoAnalytics server which sets headers so that cross site loading is allowed.
The GeoAnalytics server will just act as a proxy which adds the required headers.
|
Geometry Attribute | default:the_geom |
The name of the attribute that contains the geometry (without name space).
This field is only visible when Source Format is GML/WFS.
|
Reverse Coordinates | default:unchecked |
Coordinates are expected in order latitude, longitude or Y, X. Check when coordinates comes in the other order.
This field is only visible when Source Format is GML/WFS.
|
WMS Version | default:1.3.0 |
The version of the WMS format to use when contacting the server.
This field is only visible when Source Format is WMS.
|
Buffer | default:100 |
Extra area in pixels to load to allow for some panning without a reload.
This field is only visible when Source Format is WMS.
|
CRS | default:EPSG:3857 |
The coordinate reference system that the image should be defined in.
Must be the same as the base map is presented in.
Most base maps are presented in Mercator (EPSG:3857) and this need only be changed when a custom coordinate system is used with base maps "empty".
This field is only visible when Source Format is WMS.
|
Tile Size (pixels) | default:256 |
Width and height of tiles in pixels. This field is only visible when Source Format is TMS.
|
Tile Width (geographic) | default:40075016 |
Width in geographic units of tiles in level 0 (most zoomed out, entire earth).
Note that for most base maps the internal coordinate system is Mercator and the length unit is meters
(even if the external coordinate system is WGS-84 with length unit degrees). This field is only visible when Source Format is TMS and Advanced Settings are enabled.
|
Tile Height (geographic) | default:40075016 |
Width in geographic units of tiles in level 0 (most zoomed out, entire earth).
Note that for most base maps the internal coordinate system is Mercator and the length unit is meters
(even if the external coordinate system is WGS-84 with length unit degrees). This field is only visible when Source Format is TMS and Advanced Settings are enabled.
|
Origin X | default:-20037508 |
The origin of tiles in left-right-direction in same length unit as for Tile Height. All tiles to the left of the origin have negative x.
This field is only visible when Source Format is TMS and Advanced Settings are enabled.
|
Origin Y | default:20037508 |
The origin of tiles in up-down-direction.
By default all tiles above of the origin have negative y but if {-y} is used in the URL the y axis is revered and all tiles below this value will have negative y.
This field is only visible when Source Format is TMS and Advanced Settings are enabled.

Layer Options
Property | Use | Description |
---|
Map ID | default:<the most recent map of the sheet> |
Specify this value when there is more than one map on a sheet to tell which map to display the layer on.
See Map Id in Map Settings of the Map to get the right one.
|
Maximum Number of Objects | default:1000 |
To display more than a thousand object increase this value.
There will be a warning if there are more objects to display.
|
Calculation Condition | required |
To limit when the layer is shown you can enter a caluclation condition as an expression.
The layer is calculated/shown only when the expression is fulfilled.
|
Calculation Condition Message | required |
A custom error message that will be displayed in the layers legend if the calculation condition is not fulfilled.
Only visible if a calculation condition has been entered.
|
Zoom Limit | default:Min 0, Max 160000 |
The layer will not be displayed when zoomed further in/out than these values. Check "Map.Debug.Show debug info" to see current resolution.
The resolution is defined as meters per pixel, i.e. the number of meters each pixel covers.
|
Include in Auto Zoom | default:Yes |
Determines if the layer should be included when calculating area to zoom to when automatically zooming to selections.
|
Disable when Inactive | default:Unchecked |
We recommend using Calculation Condition instead of this option when possible since it gives better results.
Checking this sets the dimension to a constant value while non-visible/disabled/inactive in order to decrease the
amount of data transferred between Qliks Engine and the frontend.
|
Draw Order | default:Auto |
Defines how the layer should be drawn compared to other layers, which ones should be drawn on top of each other.
|
Draw Order Category | default:<Layer specific> |
The layers are by default drawn after the base map and the base map labels in the order Geodata Layers, Area Layers,
Heatmap Layers, Line Layers, Bubble Layers. To make this layer draw in another category, adjust this value.
This property is only visible when "Draw Order" is set to "Custom".
|
Draw Order Adjustment | default:0 |
Increasing this value makes the layer draw later, i.e. be more visible in the category.
Allowed values are in the range -10 to 10.
If you want the layer to be on top of other layers in the same category increase this value,
if you want it to be overdrawn by other layers in the category decrease it.
This property is only visible when "Draw Order" is set to "Custom".

An Animator iterates over a dimension with a set time between each step.
It will iterate over all dimension values in the most recent selection made.
Note that Animator works with GeoAnalytics for Qlik Sense as well as Qlik Sense normal objects such as bar charts, pie diagrams, tables, etc.
Dimension
The dimension represent the entity on which to animate/iterate.
Animator Options

For example, if there are 10 values in the dimension and the Total Steps option is set to 5 it will go to values 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (A Total of 5 steps).
If the Total Steps option is set to 0 it will iterate over every value.
|
Aggregate | default:unchecked |
Determines if it should aggregate for each iteration. Ie, first iteration it selects dimension 1, second iteration it selects 1 and 2, then 1, 2 and 3 and so on.
|
Loop | default:checked |
Determines if it should keep iterating over the dimension indefinitely or if it should stop when it reaches the last value in the dimension.
|
Show Dimension Label | default:checked |
