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.
