Can dashboard data selectors update analysis feature layers in the map?

Question

Hi,

I'm building a dashboard to show the density/hot spots of a place. I want to use the filters in the data selectors in the dashboard (e.g. date, region, etc) to update the hot spot analysis results. Is this possible to do so? It strikes to me that all the analysis layers are static and you can only re-run the analysis by using the return analysis feature in the Map, but I didn't see any interaction could be done from the dashboard data selector to the layer?

Or, is there a way to link two layers in the Map, so when I filter the data in the dashboard, a layer will change, and the hot spot layer that comes from that layer can change correspondingly?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I'm using the grouped values as all my filters. Thanks anyway.

Sure! To get a map action working, it will depend on how the selector is set up, and what kind it is. Check out the list of available actions in the Dashboards docs.

You'll see that the only way to get the map to pan and zoom from a selector is if it's set to Features, that is, the dropdown will list an option for every individual feature.

As one who just used the dashboard app for the first time, it's somehow too complicated to implement. Could be a good feature for the future ArcGIS dashboard.

Also, thanks for the reply for the None option.

I do have one more question. How can use data selector to zoom in to the corresponding part on the map?

Like what the county selector on the top of this example dashboard.
