Shape Map misses functions

Hi,

I'm trying to build a Shape Map from a .json file.

How ever ,the Shape Map function doesn't appear to be fully functioning. 
I can't seem to add a map or do anything that tutorials tell me to do.

Did I do something wrong?

 

Thanks in advance.

While counterintuitive, you have to add data to the Shape Map before you select the shape file or standard map.
