Working on a report and I want to include a map.

The Documentation says:

By default, a map in a report uses the web map that is set for the question. If the map scale is set to 0 or the parameter is omitted, the map scale is determined by the features in the map as follows:

  • If there is only one point feature on the map, the map scale matches the scale set for the question.
  • If there is only one line or polygon feature on the map, the map scale is determined by the extent of the feature.
  • If there are multiple features on the map, the scale is determined by the extent of all features.

So, how do I find the scale of say, a map showing a geotrace?

Yes, it'll be based off the extent, but is the output of a 1-mile line 1:10,000? 1:500?

It's best practice to include either a scale bar or state the scale clearly. How can I do that?
