Interaction with the markers on a map

I am interested in using Maps | DataMiner Docs in a LCA. After reading the documentation and exploring Maps tutorial, I did not find any way to interact with the markers. Here are the use cases I have in mind:

  • When a marker is clicked, open a popup with additional information about that marker.
  • Be able to use a marker selection as a feed used in another visualization
  • Same as above but with the lines

Basically, be able to interact with a map similar to what we can do with objects in a node-edge component.

Questions:

  1. Please confirm the above is not possible today; otherwise, indicate what I am missing.
  2. Are any of these features in the software roadmap? Share the task(s) to follow progress.
  3. If currently not in the roadmap, do you think it would be technically feasible provided I add it to  DataMiner Feature Suggestions - DataMiner Dojo or are there any limitations that would prevent the implementation of these features?

Thanks

Hi Miguel

Case 1 & 2 are both possible for markers, but noy yet for lines:

  1. Because each marker is a template, the template editor can be used to configure actions to execute on a shape level. This can be used to open a panel as a popup. More info can be found in the docs: templates & actions.
  2. When a marker is selected, it is also sent out by the component as a query row feed. Note that you have to select a marker first to make the feed available (just like in a table). This can be used in combination with the previous feature to show some more info about the marker in a popup.

To also support this for lines, you can definitely add a feature suggestion.
