In Spotfire Cloud include option to change scale displayed on map from Miles to Kilometres (imperial to metric)

In SPotfire Cloud, the scale on the map is displayed in imperial units and the user can not change.  Providing an option for users to change the scale of the map makes the spotfire visualisations relevant for countries using the metric system.

Implemented in 10.1

      Thank you Fredrik,

      Unfortunately users do not have access to Tools menu in Spotfire Cloud Analyst.  This method can be followed using a desktop version of analyst however when the dxp file is uploaded to the Cloud, the units are still imperial (Miles) instead of metric (Kilometres).  It seems the units default to Miles on the Cloud server.

      Cheers,

      Some changes should be possible today - if you have Cloud Analyst , go to the Tools menu > Options > Map Chart > Distance units, and select "Metric". Note that if you have an analysis open, the change won't take effect until the next time you open it.
