Visibility & Filters

Visibility

The visibility settings control the zoom range at which a catalog layer is displayed:

• Min zoom — the layer appears when the map is at or above this zoom level (zoomed out enough).
• Max zoom — the layer disappears when the map exceeds this zoom level (zoomed in too far).

Use these to prevent layers from cluttering the map at inappropriate zoom levels. For example, country-level boundaries might be visible from zoom 2–8, while postcode-level boundaries only appear from zoom 8–16.

Drag the two handles, or select one and use the arrow keys, or type the levels in Min Zoom and Max Zoom. The preview map shows its zoom level in the corner, to help you choose.

Filters

Filters let you show only a subset of features based on attribute values. You can define up to 5 filters per layer, combined with AND logic (all filters must match for a feature to be displayed).

Each filter specifies:

• Property — the vector-tile attribute to evaluate.
• Operator — comparison type (e.g. equals, not equals, contains).
• Value — the value to match against.

Runtime Filter Overrides

Filter values can be overridden at runtime from the Power BI formatting pane. This is especially powerful when combined with conditional formatting — you can bind a filter value to a Power BI measure or column, making the visible features dynamic.

For example, you could:

• Bind a filter to a slicer selection to show only the selected region's features.
• Use a measure to highlight features meeting a threshold.

See Format Pane Settings for details on how to set runtime filter overrides.
