This data set contains data related to all physicians who have a current Mississippi License for the period chosen. In this example 2020.

Can I run more than one layer simultaneously?
Near the bottom of the Add Layer box there is an identifier: Layer Settings. Under it you can name the data layer so as to better identify the layer and distinguish the results from different data runs. One can also modify symbols and symbol color.

Once the map layer is complete, there will be a head count under the title and to the right there will be three vertical dots. Click on the three dots and a pick list will drop down with choices: Update layer, Duplicate layer, Show table, Remove Layer, Transparency, Show Legend, Layer Source. The layer can be rename, modified or removed easily from this location.
What does show table mean in the drop down from the three dots?
If this selection is chosen, one can see the data from the recent demonstration in chart format as well as the map demonstration.
What other functions are available under the Add Layer choices: Providers, Education, Demographics, and Environment.
Each Data category has drop down choices. These layers can be added onto the physician data that is being run for background correlations.
