Hi there,

 

I might be completely losing my mind, but did the most recent update change the message actions available on the Map widget?

I could have sworn that there was an ability to have the map zoom into a point feature when it is selected/clicked on by a user. For example, if I had a map of the US with points representing shopping centers, if a user clicked on a point, it would zoom into that feature. However, for the life of me, I can't find this option in the Map widget settings or actions. I'm sure I'm missing it and it's in front of my face, but would appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Hi @DaveL,

This update does not change the map's message action. 

Only a Map widget was added. To zoom in after selecting a point, there are two methods:

1) Use the zoom tool in the Popup;

2) Enable "Zoom to selected features," and refresh the app at runtime to zoom in.

Thanks for the quick reply... I must've been mistaken on the previous functionality of the map widget. 

That said... it does seem odd that you can set a message action in many other widgets where the record selection changes, it zooms into the feature, but not in the map widget itself.

Hello @DaveL 

The 'Zoom to' action is also available in other widget Action configurations, such as Filter, Table and Search.

- Record selection changes/Map/Zoom to.
