You configure the settings of the Map Manager role from the Roles view of the System task in Security Center Config Tool.
Map Manager - Properties tab
Click the Properties tab to change the default settings for this role, and configure the external resources managed by this role, such as the map providers and the KML objects.
- Map providers
- List of third-party map providers (GIS) that you are licensed to use. The list of map providers also serves as a
geocoding priority list. This means that the map provider at the top of the list
is the first to be tried as the geocoding provider. If this provider cannot
return a result, the next provider in the list is tried.
Tip: To see whether geocoding is enabled or not on a map provider, select the map provider and click Edit the item (
). - Map layers
- List of imported KML objects that can be displayed on any georeferenced map. Each KML object corresponds to a distinct map layer that the Security Desk users can choose to show or hide.
- Cache location
- The cache is a folder where the map tiles are stored. When you create maps from images files, the role generates a set of small images, called map tiles, for each zoom level at which you need to view the map. The larger the map scale, the more map tiles the role must generate. The default folder is C:\ProgramData\Security Center\Maps.
- Port
- HTTP port used by the Map Manager to communicate with client applications. (Default=8012).
- Default map
- The system default map, also known as the global default map, is the map initially loaded for all users when opening the Maps task. The global default map can be overridden both at the user group and user levels, where a default map can be configured for each user and group. You can only set the global default map after creating your first map.
- Backward compatibility
- When switched ON after an upgrade, client applications from
Security Center 5.8 and earlier can continue
to download and show image maps.Best Practice: Switch Backward compatibility OFF after all client applications have been upgraded for enhanced security.

you want to use in the Records investigation report.

- The selected object types are registered in the Record Fusion Service as record types and can be queried from the Unified report investigation task.
