After you have looked up the geographic fields and assigned roles corresponding to them on the Query Object screen, you can now render maps in Intellicus.
Intellicus supports online map providers to render geospatial data, with online layers/tiles.
Following properties should be configured in “MapProviderInfo.json” and placed at “<Intellicus installation path>\ReportEngine\config\maps\GIS”
- Provider Display Name
- Connection Name
- Access key
- Provider/Script URL
Intellicus supports the following map types in Smart reports:
