Shape Map and Map Keys

‎08-15-2018 04:57 PM

I am using a shape map for wards in a city and I cannot get the wards to color differently.  How do Map Keys figure into the equation?  Does anyone have any thoughts?

are you plotting any measures with values to the visual?  Can you share an example or at least a pic of how you have defined the visual?

Hi,

 

Thanks for responding.  I have attached a screenshot.  I am not sure what is meant by plotting any measures with values to the visual.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @lottie,

 

Shape Map is still a map. So we need to add the Location field. Please refer to the snapshot below.
