Two-Way Interaction Between Indicators and Map Widgets in Dashboards

Laura — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:01:40 GMT

Currently, Dashboards allow indicators to dynamically update based on the extent of the map. This one-way interaction is useful, but it would be even more powerful if the connection worked both ways. I wish for the ability to click on an indicator—such as a count or summary value—and have the map automatically filter to display only the features that contribute to that number. This two-way interaction would create a more intuitive experience, enabling users to seamlessly explore and focus on data from either the map or the indicator. This enhancement would make it much easier for end users: right now, I have to rely on a table filter across many fields, requiring users to dig through multiple columns and select the right row to view the desired values.

I'm in the same situation. I have two indicators, and I need to create a new one that is the sum of these two, but I can't add a new column to the base layer because it is connected to the survey and could alter the data. But there is no way to do this with Arcade. I don't understand how I can create expressions without specifying which layer to work on.

I am needing this same change. We utilize indicators to provide a statistic of the number of outage locations. We then have to create a separate widget or filter in the top panel that has this just so we can filter to see those locations.

With the June 2026 ArcGIS Online release, the Indicator element (along with several others) now supports actions.

I see the Actions option but it says Element does not support any events.

Is this only available for Action Targets and not Action sources. We are needing it for Action sources.
