How to Link Map in Qlik Sense

This tutorial shows how to connect a map visualization to other charts and filters in Qlik Sense so that selections on the map filter data across your entire sheet.

Note:

Map linking in Qlik Sense works through Qlik's associative model with no special configuration required. Clicking a region or point on a map applies a selection that filters all other visualizations on the sheet. You can also use a map as a filter, combined with a filter pane, for layered selections.

1. Log in and open your Qlik Sense app, and click Edit sheet to enter Edit mode, then ensure you have both a map visualization and at least one other chart on the same sheet.
2. Click Edit sheet again to exit Edit mode, then click on a point or region in the map to make a selection.
3. Observe that all other visualizations on the sheet, such as bar charts and KPIs, update automatically to reflect the selected location.
4. To add a filter pane alongside the map, return to Edit mode and drag the Filter pane chart onto the sheet from the Charts panel.
5. Add your location field as a dimension in the Filter pane so users can select regions from both the map and the filter pane at the same time
6. Click Edit sheet again and test the combined interaction; selections in either the map or the filter pane should filter the full sheet in sync.
