Dashboards List vs. Category Selector

temprobertcottreau131313 — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 17:05:03 GMT

I'd like to have the ability for a user to select from a list of items and have the map zoom to that item. I can create this with both a Category Selector and a List.

However, with a Category Selector, subsequent selections are limited to what is visible in that map frame after the zoom.

Is there a way around this to have all items visible in the Category Selector regardless of zoom?

Good Morning!

As far as I'm aware, items in lists or selectors should not disappear (be filtered) unless you previously set up an action to do so. When it comes to what's visible in the extent, it is due to a "map action" on the map to filter when the extent changes. Double check your map actions.

Are you still having this issue?

I do have Indicators set to filter the results shown in the map (the boxes
update to show the number of different sportsfield types).
Is there a way to keep those filters and still have all the options shown
in the Category Selector? The List doesn't seem to be affected by the
filter.

You should be able to, but may have a rogue action that is doing something you don't want it to. Double check all elements/widgets on your project (including the map), and make sure none of their actions are filtering your category selector. The selector should not filter unless triggered to do so.

I thought I'd cleared everything but it turns out I had to remove the name
of the Category Selector from the Map Actions and missed that.
Thanks for your thoughts.
