Add custom markers in Point map

In some cases, the default marker used in a point map may not provide the flexibility or visual clarity you need. Whether you're aiming to add more color variety or customize the appearance of specific data points, replacing the default marker with a custom image can help improve the visual impact of your chart. Follow the steps below to add your own marker images and take advantage of this feature.

Note: This feature is currently only available for the Point Map chart type. If you're working with a different chart type, the option to use custom marker images will not be accessible.

Replace the default marker with a custom image.

Open the data panel in the editor
Add a new column to the datagrid by clicking the chevron icon in the column header and selecting Add column right
Give the column a title, e.g. Media
Add the links to where the images are stored in this format: url(insert link here)
In the chart controller click Symbol (Beta) and select the new column (Media)

This technique is particularly useful if you want to select different marker colors for a point map, which per today only supports a single one.
