Use different-sized symbols

When you add MicroStrategy data to a map, Esri Maps for MicroStrategy creates a layer and displays the data using a default style (symbol). These layers, and certain layers added from ArcGIS, can be styled using different symbols or icons, colors, and grouping. One way to style a point layer is to divide the points into groups and style each group with a different-sized symbol. As you modify the style options for your layer, the map automatically updates to reflect your settings.

For more information on styling layers, see Feature display and style.

  1. Click the Show map contents icon to display the Contents pane.
  2. On the Contents pane, click the arrow to the right of the layer whose style you want to change.
  3. Click Style.
  4. Click Grouped.
  5. Click the Choose column to group drop-down arrow and select the desired column.
  6. Click the Group column values by drop-down arrow and select Number ranges.

    This classifies values into groups by numeric order and assigns a group style.

  7. Click the Symbol drop-down arrow and do one of the following:
    • To style your data with an icon, select a category and select the icon you want.
    • To style your data with a shape, click the Symbol drop-down arrow, click Shapes, and select the shape you want to use.
  8. You will have a Style using choice if you are styling a shape. Click Sizes. If you are styling an icon, you will not see this option.
  9. Click the Classification method drop-down arrow and select the desired grouping method. For additional information on each of these methods, see Feature display and style.
  10. Using the Number of groups slider, specify the number of groups to use for the data. You may have between two and seven groups.
  11. Use the Minimum and Maximum Sizes slider to specify the start and end (minimum and maximum) sizes for the symbols.

    Your style settings are displayed on the map. You may have to turn off clustering to see individual point symbols. See Configure clustering.

  12. Click OK.
