Hi all,

Hello,

VA's default objects include the Region-Coordinate map, which could be made using different layers.

If you go into the custom graph builder (select Build Custom Graphs from the app selector at the top left) you can make a custom map with multiple region overlays, or multiple coordinate overlays, and so on.

To use different layers from the same Esri service, I think you would need to define each one as a different map provider.

@FalkoSchulz can you confirm/elaborate on the above?

Thanks,

Sam

Can you please explain little more details please.

To use geographic data in VA, you need to define geography data items. If you read the map data from an Esri service, then you will also need to define a map provider. I *think* that you could make multiple providers for the same Esri service and specify different layers.

Here is some doc about defining geography items:

Thank you! I already been through the doc .

But here not mentioned about the layers . where as i am reading the map from esri services .
about the setting: In setting i defiend the map and I could see only one map at a time.

in the options i can select only one map at a time (pls see the below screenshot). Here i would like to select two map's so that multilyear will appear in my report of map.

if I select only one I should disply one map at atime and I should open another tab in the report again i have to choose another map .

but rather the above If we select map it should cover ocean base and ocean reference as below maps show , but practically we can select any one of them at time.

Oh wait, are we talking about background maps? I don't think you can have more than one background map.

Yes, this is regarding the background multilayer map.

Thank you !

@FalkoSchulz can tell us for sure. I don't know if maybe something could be configured on the Esri side.

To display multi-layer webmaps in VA, reference the SAS Github Geo webmap project (https://github.com/sassoftware/sas-visualanalytics-geowebmap) from the VA Data-driven content object. For more info, refer to the community posts -
