Which selector to use?

RoseZhou2 — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 16:56:48 GMT

Hello,

There is a filed in a map layer with random number values from 1 to 500+. Instead of list all the possible values in a category selector, I would like to allow users to filter the map layer using that field by 1, 2, 3+. But I could not find the right operator. Is it possible to do this in Dashboard of Portal 10.8.1?

Thanks

Rose

How about a Number Selector?

Thanks JayantaPoddar!

I am currently using a Number Selector and using "Slider" as the display type.

But users don't think that is user-friendly, they would like to use 3 checkboxes or a dropdown with 1, 2, 3+ as the options. But I can't find the right operator for that if I use a Category selector with those options.

Cheers

Rose

The only way I can think of, is to create a new TEXT field to the hosted feature layer. Using Calculate Field, select appropriate values from integer field, and define the values '1', '2' and '3+' respectively.

In ArcGIS Dashboard, use this TEXT field for Category Selector.
