Scatter Map - Mapbox Upgrade

Sisense upgraded the Scatter Map widgets so that they are faster, updated daily, and are more detailed than ever before. Old Scatter Map versions will not display properly after December 15, 2020.
To ensure that Scatter Map widgets continue to work after December 15, 2020, you can make a configuration change to your current system.

The configuration changes can be made to any of the following Sisense versions:

  • Linux 8.2.x
  • Linux 8.0.x
  • Windows 8.2.x
  • Windows 8.1.x
  • Windows 8.0.x
  • Windows 7.4.x

For any other version of Sisense , contact your Sisense Customer Service Manager for assistance.

Note:

If you have a Sisense Managed Cloud deployment, you do not need to perform this configuration change. Sisense will do it for you.
