Selecting maps

The maps available for selection depend on various security settings. The available maps are located in the Basemap Gallery.

About this task

When you open the i2 Esri Maps window for the first time, a default map is displayed. The other maps that are available to you are shown in a gallery at the edge of the window. If the map that you require is not visible in the gallery, you might need to log in to your ArcGIS portal instance.

When you select a map, it is associated with the chart. When you save your chart, if one or more chart items have been sent to the map, the association is saved with the chart. The extents and zoom level of the map are also saved.

If you create a new chart or open an existing chart, Analyst's Notebook displays the last open map unless another map is already associated with the chart that you are opening.

Procedure

To display a map and associate it with the current chart:
  1. Click any map in the gallery to select it. If the gallery is not shown, click Map Gallery to make the maps available for selection. To close the gallery, click Map Gallery again. Alternatively, double-click a map to select it and close the map selection at the same time.
  2. Optional: If the required map is not visible in the gallery, you might need to log in to your ArcGIS portal instance. In the i2 Esri Maps window, click Log In and enter your user name and password. If you do not know your user name or password, see your system administrator.
    After you log in, more maps might become available for you to select.
  3. If the map that you selected contains layers that are stored on a secure server, you might need to provide further credentials. If a Windows Security window opens, enter your credentials for the location where the map is stored. If you do not know this information, see your system administrator.
