Settings

In the Settings section, you can configure the map controls, branding, social sharing, and interaction behaviour of your dashboard. When you disable a functionality, it will not be available in Viewer mode.

Map

  • Toolbar — shows the top bar with the GOAT logo, project name, last saved timestamp, and project info in Viewer mode.
  • Scalebar — shows a scale on the map for measuring distances from one point to another.

Allowed basemaps

Restrict which basemaps viewers can switch to. Select one or more basemaps from the dropdown — viewers will only see the ones you enable here. Only shown when Basemap switcher is placed in any position.

Zoom limits

Limit how far dashboard viewers can zoom in and out. A range slider lets you set the minimum and maximum zoom level (0–22). The current map zoom is shown as a marker on the slider for reference.


Branding

Customize the visual identity of your dashboard for Viewer mode.

  • Font — select a typeface from the dropdown. Choose Custom… to enter a Font file URL and Font Family name for a custom typeface.
  • Primary Color — set the main accent color used for buttons and highlights.
  • Icon Color — set the color for icons throughout the dashboard.
  • Font Color — set the text color used across the dashboard.
  • Favicon — upload a custom browser tab icon. Click × to remove it.

Social sharing

Customize how your dashboard appears when shared via social media or messaging apps.

  • Preview image — drag and drop or click to upload an image (recommended: 1200×630 pixels). Falls back to the default GOAT preview when unset.
  • Description — add a short description (up to 300 characters) used in social previews and search results.

General

  • Language — set the dashboard display language. Options: Auto (Browser Default), English, Deutsch.

Interactions

Click Manage Interactions to open the interactions editor. Interactions link dashboard elements together — for example, clicking a layer group can switch the active tab in a widget. Click Add Interaction to create a new one.
