Create a default map

Once Esri Maps for MicroStrategy is installed and configured in your environment, report designers can create reports augmented with maps. If your organization wants to standardize a template, or default, from which report authors start creating maps, you can ask a report designer to create the default map.

Once the default map has been configured, the map specification (accessed by clicking Advanced > Show map specification in the map) can be copied to the appropriate section in map_configuration.json.txt.

  1. Make a copy of map_configuration.json.txt.default, located at <MicroStrategy_plugin_directory>\javascript\configuration\design.
  2. Rename the copy to map_configuration.json.txt.
  3. In the appropriate section of map_configuration.json.txt, paste the map specification you copied from Advanced > Show map specification in the map.
  4. Validate your JSON code using a validation tool such as JSONLint.
    Note:

    Specifying a default map in this way will override the Default Basemap setting in your ArcGIS organizational account.

  5. Save and close the file.

    Note:

    To make this change available in Report mode and Presentation mode, copy the map_configuration.json.text file to the following directories:

    • <MicroStrategy_plugin_directory>\javascript\configuration\report
    • <MicroStrategy_plugin_directory>\javascript\configuration\document
