What are Components?
Components can be added to quickly create interactive and informative dashboards. Each component serves a specific purpose, providing unique insights and facilitating data analysis and exploration. By combining these components together, you can explore, compare, and interpret complex datasets with ease to make informed decisions.
Adding Components
There are two ways to add components to a layer:
- Directly from the Components icon in the toolbar
- Or from the Components tab in the Style Editor
Available Components
Measure
The Measure component provides map viewers with tools to measure distances and areas directly on a map.
Measure components can be configured by clicking on them while editing the map. You can provide a custom button title and configure which measurement options are available to map viewers.
Find
The Find component enables map viewers to search locations and layers by entering keywords in the search box.
Find components can be configured by clicking on them while editing the map. You can provide a custom button title and configure what parts of the map are searchable, including locations and specific data from layers on the map.
Spatial filter
The spatial filter component enables viewers to filter layers and export the filtered results by drawing a shape on the map.
Selecting a spatial filter shows the number of features filtered, along with details about the size and shape of the filtered region.
Spatial filters can be configured by clicking on them while editing the map. You can set a custom button title, select which types of spatial filters to offer (polygon, circle, or both), and specify which layers are filtered.
To let viewers export the results of a spatial filter, toggle on Export data from within Map settings. Once the setting is on, a download icon will be available to all logged-in viewers from the spatial filter panel. Logged-out viewers can use the spatial filter component to filter data on the map, but are unable to export the results.
Spatial filters work great alongside other components set to “Update based on other filters”. In the image on the right, the statistic and bar chart components are set to update based on other filters, such that they show risk stats for the spatially-filtered region. Lines and polygons that partially intersect the spatial filter are fully counted in calculated statistics.
