Select on one layer triggers filter on another

Question

Hi,

Going round and round in circle to figure out Experience Builder. Find it near impossible to find resources on development.

I have layer A - Wildlife Reserve Polygons, Layer B which contains point sample locations for that polygon as well as some statistics which I want to chart and Layer C which contains data which is held outside of our organisation.

I want users to be able to

- Select a Reserve (either from a list or from clicking the map

- See the chart, table and photos update with records relating to that polygon.

The datasets share a common name but not a common UID.

Is this possible? If so please explain!

You could try using a hidden Near Me Widget to select the intersecting data and use Actions to control your output widgets. This article should get you at least half-way to building this kind of set up.

I've configured Message Action on the Map Widget - Trigger type - Record Selection Changes on the data framework. Either Filter or Select data records. I have many to many relationship and if I select a feature, all related features are highlighted and filtered on the Map widget. So it should work for you the same if you have a common field (name) to set in the "Set custom connection fields" option in the "Conditions" section of the "Action Settings". But it would have to be a One to Many relationship, otherwise you have publish hosted feature layer with the relationship class.

The datasets share a field with a common name but not a common UID as an integer.

I have tried to configure the message actions on the map and the list widgets. If I am selecting features from the same layer this works fine. But I cannot get the spatial intersect to function. In my mind it is a simple task to have a polygon layer which can be selected by the user and this filters the point layer(s) to only show those that intersect, This is basic GIS functionality.
