Charts, slicers and visuals overview
A map is more than the layers on it. Icon Map lets you add visuals that summarize your data, let viewers filter it, and present detail — all inside the map, working together with your layers.
Add visuals from the Visuals pane in the Build sidebar. You can add:
| Visual | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Chart | Summarize your data as columns, bars, lines, pies, cards, tables, and more. |
| Slicer | Let viewers filter the map and its charts. |
| Panel | A container that holds and arranges other visuals. |
| Text box | Static or data-bound text. |
| Image | A picture from a URL, a data field, or OneLake. |
| Button | An interactive button. |
| Location | Shows captured or selected coordinates. |
Where visuals appear
Most visuals can be shown in two places, and you can use both at once:
- On the map — as a draggable, resizable card floating over the map.
- In a side pane — docked to the side of the map (for example, a Charts pane).
How visuals work together
Charts, slicers, and layers that share data are linked: selecting on the map filters the charts, clicking a chart or slicer filters the map, and slicers filter everything bound to the same data. Where visuals draw on different data sources, you can connect them with field links. See Data tables for inspecting the exact rows behind each layer.
