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:
- Please confirm the above is not possible today; otherwise, indicate what I am missing.
- Are any of these features in the software roadmap? Share the task(s) to follow progress.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
