Map Timeline Visualization

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
This visualization is for time line animation over map. 
It's similar to the visualization used in Covid-19 dashboard.
This visualization requires 1 attribute for Geo and timeline attribute. Latitude and Longitude are also required. It requires more than 1 metric.  
Please download MapTimeLineOSM.zip file to use. MapTimeLine.zip file is reference only and previous version of the widget used in Corona Virus dashboard of Strategy with OpenStreetMap with limited capability. 

Usage Guidance 

• For Bubble mode, It requires latitude and longitude data. (  When you insert geojson data , it will be matched to the geo attribute. Then center of the shape is used as lat/long) 
• For Region mode , It requires geojson data. You can input geojson data in the control button below zoom in/out buttons. 

• After inputting geojson , Please click "Apply". You can set which property of the geojson is matched to geo attribute by selecting property in the drop-down of the top of the editor box.
• Click Save. Geojson data will be used to visualization. 
• If the geojson data is larger than 2 megabyte , Dossier might not save the data. To reduce geojson data or convert shape file to geojson , please refer https://mapshaper.org/ . You can reduce geojson data by using simplify feature of the Mapshaper site.  

• For formatting color of bubble or shape, Please use metric threshold in the editor panel. If there are multiple metrics , It'll use 1st threshold of metrics.  
• Play control can be expanded or collapsed by clicking bottom left button.
