Adding a line layer in Qlik sense map – which format should the lines have?

[helge_jorg]

Gents,

I would like to add a dataset of lines to a map. I have the data as polylines in arcgis. Does some have experience with adding lines to a map in Qlik sense and which format should the lines have? KLM files does not work.

Thanks!

Cheers

Helge

@helge_jorg kmz is a zipped kml file, unzip it and load the file in sense. make a map, and add doc.line as line layer.

As for supported geometries in Sense line layer:

(Line layer only) Set what kind of data you are using for your lines.

• Start & end point: Select to use two fields to set the start and end points. When selected, separate sections are added in Location for the start point and end point location settings.
• Line geometry: Select to use GeoJSONLineString or MultiLineString format line geometry from a field. When selected, all other location settings are replaced with Line geometry field.

Standard Sense reads KML files with point, line and area geometries.

With Qlik GeoAnalytics it is also possible to load the following: GeoJSON, GML, Esri Shapefiles, EsriJSON, CSV, Autocad DXF and WKT (from databases for instance)
