Show Feature Info on map click

Question

Hi. I'd like to configure my app to display the feature info when user clicks a feature on the map. Not seeing how I can configure that. I have it so the feature is selected in the list, but then a user needs to click the button to show the feature info. I'd like to make that widget show immediately instead.

Is this feasible?

Thanks

You will have to think about how many widgets you need on the mobile device? This layout could be different than the other two (desktop, tablet). Do you only need to show the map with the feature info on mobile? If yes, you could get away with just the map and feature info. How much information do you need to show in the feature info? Also, how many features do you have?

Ok, so the behavior I want is already happening, but it's just not apparent because the widget is hidden in the interface, right? It sounds like I could solve this if I put the feature info in its own container, someplace that is always visible. I'm not sure that would work that well, especially on handheld devices.

Yes, good to consider this for future functionality. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The selection of a feature on the map will update the record selection in the feature info by default, however, the feature info is always rendered. I will add an issue for us to look into how we can make this more dynamic by perhaps using the sidebar panel. Someone else posted a similar question about how to achieve this and I can see how this would very useful.
