Using ArcGIS Online Dashboard Map Zoom

Question

I have a dashboard with a few different elements on it. The Map element and the List element are connected to each other and I have them set up that when you click on a feature name from the List element it is supposed to zoom into the feature on the map. However, when I click on the feature name from the list it looks like it zooms into the correct location, but the basemap and the feature fail to load/disappear because all you see is a blank, white screen instead of the feature or the basemap.

How do I fix it?

Answer 1

Since the Zoom action on the Map element of a Dashboard cannot be pre-configured to a default zoom level in response to a List selection, I suggest a bummer of a work-around:

• Create a buffer layer of the point elements in your Operational Layer
• Add that layer to your Dashboard, but keep it turned off
• Keep the point features turned on and visible
• Connect the List to the buffer layer instead of the point layer
• Configure the List Action to Zoom to the Buffer Feature rather than the point feature

I know, what a cludge, but until the Zoom action allows a default maximum zoom, we will all continue to zoom into points at too tight a zoom level to see on the Dashboard.

Answer 2

You can edit the dashboards json (pointZoomScale) to the wanted zoom scale in ago-assistant. Check out: https://youtu.be/Ou3mokGsLGA?si=SGPhu2bz6yBpLQ5a&t=214
