How to add shapefile as base map in Qlik Sense Desktop

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 01:25:34 GMT

My qlik sense desktop's version seems different with the version in official video, since they have different behavior.

After I updated the kml data file, i dragged the "Map" object to worksheet and its already had the base map in it. And there is no options for me to choose my personal base map.

The reason why i need my personal based map is due to the data for display. Since the data has the relationship with the kml file. so i have to set the kml as the base map.

Anyone can tell me how to change the base map? Thanks so much!
