How to Use Vector Map?​

How to Use Vector Map?​

The following steps should be followed to use the Vector Map object on a form.

Add the Vector Map Object to the Form​

  1. Open the form design screen
  2. Go to the Toolbox panel
  3. Locate the Map / Vector Map object
  4. Drag and drop the object onto the form

Define the Map Source​

  1. Select the Vector Map object
  2. Go to the Properties panel
  3. From the Vector Map File Name field:
    • Select a map file in SVG or GeoJSON format

Examples:

  • turkey.svg
  • world.geojson

Configure the Map Format​

  • From the Vector Map Format field, select the output format:
    • SVG
    • PNG
    • PDF
    • JPEG

This setting determines how the map is rendered and exported.

Interaction and Visibility Settings​

You can configure the following settings according to your needs:

  • Vector Map Enabled
    → Determines whether the map is interactive

  • Vector Map Printing Enabled
    → Controls printing / export permissions

  • Title / Caption
    → Defines the map title

Using with a Data Source (Optional)​

By associating the Vector Map with a data source, it can be used in scenarios such as:

  • Region-specific coloring
  • Value-based visualization
  • Triggering actions after region selection

Usage Example​

Scenario:
Displaying regional sales data on a map of Turkey

  • Map: turkey.geojson
  • Data Source: Region + Sales Amount
  • Each region is colored according to the sales amount

Notes​

  • Vector maps are more efficient than raster maps in terms of performance
  • Unnecessary details should be simplified in large maps
  • Ensure that the map file matches the data fi

What Is Vector Map?​

What Is Vector Map?​

Vector Map is a visualization object that allows countries, cities, regions, or custom geographic areas to be displayed on a form using vector map formats (such as SVG or GeoJSON).

Unlike raster (pixel-based) maps, Vector Maps:

  • Do not lose quality when scaled
  • Are interactive (click, select, hover, etc.)
  • Are well suited for region-based data visualization

This object is especially preferred in scenarios such as reporting, geographic analysis, regional distribution, and statistical presentations.

What Is It Used For?​

With Vector Map, you can:

  • Display data distribution by regions
  • Perform country / city / province-based analyses
  • Enable area selection on the map
  • Visually enrich geographic data

For example:

  • Distribution of sales by region
  • User density maps
  • Authorization or responsibility regions

Key Features​

  • High resolution and scalability
  • Region-based interaction
  • Integration with data sources
  • Printing and export support (PDF, PNG, SVG, etc.)

Usage Areas​

  • Management dashboards
  • Geographic reports
  • Regional performance analyses
  • Map-based selection screens
