[en] Reference Layers

[en] You can select Reference Maps for map display from both the Browse and Reporting Map tools. A dropdown exposes all reference map layer sets installed on the machine running Alteryx Designer. When you choose a layer set, reference geography within the vicinity of the input map layer includes some of the following (depending on the reference layer set that you choose):

  • [en] Urban Areas (Polygon)

  • [en] Lakes (Polygon)

  • [en] Rivers (Line)

  • [en] US States (Polygon)

  • [en] State Boundaries (Label)

  • [en] Major Roads (Line)

  • [en] Highway Shields  (Point)

  • [en] Cities (Point)

[en] Designer ships with a few free Reference map layer sets. Additionally, if you subscribe to a spatial product, you get an additional Reference Map layer set called Streetware. This layer set is ideal for high-quality cartographic output.
