Styling your data gives you the ability to customise how it's displayed on the map to suit your analysis.
Binning allows you to adjust how a layer's data is grouped into units, which can help simplify and clarify your map visualisation.
Select Custom
under Colouring
to adjust individual bins or add and remove bins using the +
and -
buttons next to each bin. Select Reset Bins
to revert them to their original colours and value ranges.
There are multiple colour schemes available to display data within Planwisely.
Select Style
from the Layer toolbox
, then select a colour scheme and palette.
Available colour schemes include:
- Sequential - Uses a gradient of colours to order data from low to high values.
- Single Hue - Uses a gradient of a single colour to order data from low to high values.
- Diverging Colour - Uses two contrasting colours that diverge from a neutral midpoint. Ideal for data with a meaningful central value.
- Qualitative - Uses distinct colours to represent different categories or types of data. Ideal for data that is categorised without a specific scale or order.
- Custom - Allows you to select your own colours according using hex codes, a colour picker

Most layers in your spatial data library give you the option to filter the data that appears on the map on a scale that's specific to that dataset.
Use the slider(s), if one is available, under Filters
to adjust which data is visualised on the map.
Labels are specific to the data layer you currently have selected. They can be turned on or off using the Labels toggle
to add additional context or clean up the map view.
You can also remove legends from the map using the Legend toggle
. This can be useful when visualising multiple datasets at once.
Under Style
