Project Layers

The Project Layers area on the Mapping ribbon enables you to view the map in several additional ways. The Map Legend includes information about each type of project layer.

•       Clustered Points

•       Portfolio Thematic Summary

•       Heat Map

Use the Map Layer Properties function to configure the properties for each type of layer. If you do not configure properties for each type of layer, Touchstone uses the AIR default map layer properties. You can create custom map settings by using the Persist these settings option.

Clustered Points

Click this option to display individual locations and clusters of locations on the map. Clusters provide a generalized, low-resolution view of the underlying exposures. Analysis results are always based on the actual locations underlying the clusters. You can set the opacity property for this layer.

Portfolio Thematic Summary

This option, which is available only when exposure maps are available, enables you to display exposure location values—number of locations and total replacement value—aggregated by administrative boundaries at multiple, different resolutions, and based on a hierarchy of area levels. You can set various options for this layer by launching Map Layer Properties and then selecting the Portfolio Thematic Summary layer.

Heat Map

Click this option to overlay colors on the exposure data. The colors indicate the level of concentration, from no exposure data (white) to most concentration (red). The map legend includes a Heat Map section. To edit the border colors and intensity, click a color and then edit the settings in the Symbology Editor. You can select a new border color and you can move the Intensity slider. The Intensity setting applies to all the colors.
