Category selector zoom on the map

AnuSawant

Hi there,

I am trying to use different category selectors to search for values. My expectation is once I have selected value in category selector on a map it should pan to the relevant location and then zoom into the detail so I can view the feature. After I have changed the settings on Category selector and Map I cant achieve the accurate result.

My question is what I am looking is it not possible with Category selector or I am missing anything?

Thanks,

Anu

Did you set an Action for the category selector to zoom to the map?

Hello, is there a difference between Dashboards ArcGIS Enterprise and AGOL?

Not sure if there is already a proper solution, but what works for me is to set the category selector first to "Features" option, set a "Zoom" action for the map, and then change to the "Grouped values" option.

And now Implemented!

Hi,

I have created a Dashboard that has 2 category selectors by 2 different geographies.

They worked fine, but now for reasons unknown, now when I select a region, the data in the map disappears and it no longer pans or zooms to the location selected!

I went through the actions and compared them to another dashboard that works fine. Everything is the same!

Hi @Anneka_France,

> ... why can't you pan or zoom to for grouped values in the new ArcGIS Dashboards? Seems like very basic functionality...

Apologies for the late reply. I can't comment on this enhancement, as I don't work on the ArcGIS Dashboards team. I moved to a different team about a year ago. Sorry.

Please vote for and add comments to this similar submitted enhancement request,
Operations Dashboard: Add "Zoom to" to grouped or fixed values Category Selector

Hope this helps,

Please add this funcationality!!

Anneka_France

Workaround isn't working for me either...

Unfortunately, I think they finally fixed this glitch 😞
https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/ops-dashboard/announcements/whats-new-in-arcgis-dashboards-march-2022/

I've tried today, to do what I know has worked for me in the past, by first selecting 'Categories from Features'
and selecting Zoom and Pan options, then changing to 'Categories from Grouped Values'

But Zoom and Pan options now disappear from Actions when changing back to 'Grouped Values'

anyone got any other tricks?

This glitch still exists!

Thanks! I've been banging my head against the wall with this very problem all afternoon.

Very nice! I was able to test this in ArcGIS Online with a registered feature service from our Enterprise GIS Server. Worked great. Couldn't get it to work on our 8.1 Portal environment, however.

I found a temporary work around friends! I think it's probably a glitch but in short:

Temporarily make the category selector filter from features instead of grouped values.
In actions, add the zoom action like Derek showed in the picture in reply to OP.
Exit the tool, use the selector really quick to filter to a single point.
Reconfigure the category selector, except now change the "Categories from" to "Grouped values"
Look at the action menu again, you will see the zoom action was left in after switching (please see attached pictures to this post) .

From the little testing I have done, it seems to work exactly how we would like it to. If it does not work for people here, I can make the dashboard I'm using public, but give this a shot first.

Derek, I think this is a HUGE limitation that you cannot zoom to features when using a "GROUPED" option. I almost always use groups and have to a LIST so that I can use a Zoom action. Are there any plans to allow you to add a zoom action for the group option? I

Thanks Derek.

Hi Anu,

I'm glad to hear that your original issue was resolved.

> ... what I have found is sometimes if we switch between the tab or windows some of the options gets disappear ...

This will depend/vary on the different settings for the element. Sometimes one parameter may affect/change other options (or what is available) in the element configuration panel. So I believe the behavior is expected.

Hope this helps,

Hi Derek,

I have found where I was going wrong. On the selector options, I was selecting "Grouped Values", to see the above option I have to pick "Features".

But another error (bug?) what I have found is sometimes if we switch between the tab or windows some of the options gets disappear, refreshing the page doesn't work and I have to close the entire window to get everything back.

e.g.in the above case when I switched back from "Grouped Values" to the "Features", an option to label the selector has been disappeared and I have to close an entire window and reopen it.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

Anu

Hi Derek,

I am using dashboard in ArcGIS online. This is a hosted feature service. I have tested other operation dashboard I have done before to see if I can find this setting but no luck with it. All of the old dashboards has got hosted feature services.

This is another example.

Thanks,

Anu

Derek Law

Hi Anu,

Are you using Dashboards in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise? If the latter, which release?

Is there anything special about the data in the web map? Are they hosted feature layers or something else?

AnuSawant

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the reply. I cant see the above option, please refer below.

Thanks,

Anu

Did you set an Action for the category selector to zoom to the map?
