Using Map Themes (Visualisations)

This document provides an overview on how to use the built-in custom map themes in the Metrix Asset Management system.

Note

The Metrix Asset Management system controls spatial features at a component level. When viewing some map themes, there may be overlapping shapes caused by stacked geometries of multiple asset components. This can cause obscuration and/or blending of the rendered colours.

In these cases, it is advisable to filter your data to a specific component group.

  1. To get started, navigate to the main ‘Assets’ map in the Metrix Asset Management system.

  2. On the left hand side of the page, make sure the ‘Visualise By’ tab is activated. .

  3. Initially, you will see a map legend for the currently applied map theme. By default, this is set to colour switch on ‘Asset Class’. To change the map theme to a different pre-configured visualisation, simply click ‘Switch Map Theme’ at the top of the panel.

  4. This will now display all of the available built-in map themes in a range of contextual categories. .

  5. To apply a specific visualisation, simply click on the tile in this view.

  6. The theme will apply, and you will be returned to the ‘Legend View’ as it pertains to your chosen theme.

  7. Repeat this process to go to another theme.

    Info

    Remember, the default map theme is called ‘Asset Class’. Choosing this theme will essentially reset your visualisations to system standard.
