Visibility & Filters

Visibility

The visibility settings control the zoom range at which a catalog layer is displayed:

• Min zoom — the layer appears when the map is at or above this zoom level (zoomed out enough).
• Max zoom — the layer disappears when the map exceeds this zoom level (zoomed in too far).

Use these to prevent layers from cluttering the map at inappropriate zoom levels. For example, country-level boundaries might be visible from zoom 2–8, while postcode-level boundaries only appear from zoom 8–16.

Filters

Filters let you show only a subset of features based on attribute values. You can define up to 5 filters per layer, combined with AND logic (all filters must match for a feature to be displayed).

Each filter specifies:

• Property — the vector-tile attribute to evaluate.
• Operator — comparison type (e.g. equals, not equals, contains).
• Value — the value to match against.

Runtime Filter Overrides

Filter values can be overridden at runtime from the Power BI formatting pane. This is especially powerful when combined with conditional formatting — you can bind a filter value to a Power BI measure or column, making the visible features dynamic.

For example, you could:

• Bind a filter to a slicer selection to show only the selected region's features.
• Use a measure to highlight features meeting a threshold.

See Format Pane Settings for details on how to set runtime filter overrides.
