map zoom level when clicking on item list

[MikeOnzay]

Is it possible to set the map to zoom to a particular level when clicking on an item in a list?

Aaron, 

I would like to do something similar for an Operations Dashboard category selector Action = Zoom. 

My OD map has a polygon selector based on Council Districts.  It works fine but the zoom threshold is so large as to almost be not helpful.

I see all of the configurable Action filters, in the JSON, but don't see where I could adjust the selector actions zoom properties.

I've made a copy of my dashboard and tried editing the json to add the "pointZoomScale": 10, line however after saving and reopening the dashboard no change. When I tap my list, all other points still disappear leaving only the one, but my map does not zoom into that point at all (which can make it extremely difficult to find). 

Where exactly does the pointZoomScale need to be added into the json? If it's in the correct location (I've tried it in the following 2 places), is there an configuration I'm missing in the dashboard?

Thanks!

It looks like you're in the correct spot, but a zoom level of 10 would put your eyeball right up against a grasshopper's kneecap. 

Try something like 1,500, and make sure you don't have a filter action that is filtering your other points (or filtering a list that has it's own filter action, etc).  You should be able to change the point zoom scale in the dashboard map's settings once you change it in the JSON (in my experience).

Is there a conversion of pointZoomScale values to the pre defined zoom levels on a map?

All these tips are wonderful and solved my issue! So I'll add another observation -

The JSON editor screen will let you do a search but it doesn't take you to the line with the match. So I copied the JSON code with the included button and pasted into Notepad. Then the notepad search takes you to the line in the code with the word pointZoonScale and you can see what the line number is. Then in the JSON editor you scroll down to that line and fix the code. 

My point zoom was defaulted to 50,000 which is the view from the moon, and I changed it to 1,200 which will about cover a large school building. I'm mapping shelters, so that's perfect.

What version of Portal are you all using? I am using 10.7 right now, and over-writing the json for the pointZoomScale from 10,000 to 1,500 has no affect on my dashboard. I am using a list widget for a point layer with the Zoom set up.

I am trying to troubleshoot this question as well but with polygons. The answer states that the map should zoom into a polygon and that is not true. How do we change this for polygons? Thank you in advance!

[WilliamTrachtman]

Elizabeth Ayarbe, I was never able to get polygons to work.  I made invisible points inside each polygon, then I used one point zoom level that was the best fit for viewing the polygons.  It is a work around, but it gets the job done and it looks like it is zooming in on the polygons.

[ElizabethAyarbe]

Thank you for your quick response. I'll try doing the same. I was also thinking of creating a negative buffer that falls within the polygon feature and use that as my feature to zoom to. I'll see which one works best. Thank you again!

I'm working on a dashboard with different project areas that could end up having very different sizes and shapes. The polygon zoom doesn't zoom in close enough to see the details of the project, and the point zoom is not going to work for all the project areas since they're all different sizes.

It would be nice if when you set a zoom action in a dashboard there were zoom extent settings similar to those for Data Driven Pages/Map Series in ArcMap/Pro.
