Most Recent Feature in Indicator Widget

BenSperry

Is there a way to show the most recent feature in an indicator. Currently the only way I can see to do this is to set a filter for the exact range of the most recent feature, if the most recent feature slips out of range than it shows no data, if I try to extend the range I capture previous values, if I limit the returned values to one than it only show the first feature in that range; not the last.

I have a dashboard where data are updated at irregular intervals so I need to show the most recent feature to avoid the "No Data" message which is not very helpful to those using the dashboard.

Hi Ben,

To achieve this, Sort By a date field (e.g., last edited) in descending order. Then, set Maximum Features Displayed to 1. It will only display the newest feature. See this blog post for more info.

Thanks David, I think I will need some more practise 🙂

Hi Nicole,

The previous value concept is based on refreshing data, what the statistic was before its current value while the dashboard is open. As you noted in the linked issue, using a filter to return the correct date range of your data is often a more effective way to utilize the Reference concept.

Hi David,

Your blog post is really great and helpful!

Can you maybe point me to a way how I make use of the "Previous Value" reference setting? I managed now to show the latest value as my main Indicator but I would like to use the previous day as a reference. When I use "Previous Value" as a reference it only shows me the same value as my main Indicator.
