how to view selected group of pins/ cluster on Map View (sample: Map1 โconsist of 100 pinsโ ,Map 2 โconsist of 77โ so on and so onโฆ,) if I selected specific Group/Cluster Pin on map it will only appear the selected. Sample Mapper 1 โconsist of 100 pinsโ then it will only appear the selected. Thanks in advance for the answer.
Is there anyone could help me about viewing selected Group of Pins on Maps?
How can I view the selected Route/Scheduled Map (Pin on Map) when I selected โMapper 1โ that consist of 89 pins on map and it will only shows what Iโve selected, not the whole thousand pins? Thank you in advance Sir.
It may not be exactly in one step but in two steps it could be possible to display pins of the selected mapper only.
It sounds that you have grouped the table by a field called something as [Mapper] that has values MAPPER 1, MAPPER 2, โฆMAPPER10โฆ and so on.
If so,
LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW(โYour Map View Nameโ, [Mapper]=[_THISROW].[Mapper])
Now when you tap on a Mapper in the table view it will take you to another summary view of the selected mapper. If you tap on any row again, you will see the map wiew with pins for that selected mapper only.
Edit: Added link to the relevant help article.
Please see the attached file for your reference.

Here is the view of โRouteโ that I needed to view on maps with pins when I select (sample)Mapper1 then will only show the selected route with pins on map of Mapper1 only.
Maybe the reason why I canโt follow your procedure is because I donโt know where to input it. Sorry Iโm newbie here in appsheets, Iโm 1month learning the app when I have free time after my work. I hope you can guide where do I put step by step. Thank you [Suvrutt_Gurjar]
I tried but it doesnโt work Sir.
Does it works on you Sir? Can you send a short video so that I can follow and understand of how I can view the map specific of what I selected. Thank you.
Yes, I shared the approach in detail after I tested it on a sample app. Of course my understanding of your requirement could be erroneous.
Could you please share what have you tried with relevant screenshots.
@Suvrutt_Gurjar This sounds like something I could definitely use. I have a similar need, and would like to be able to generate a map based on locations I select in a table view.
I set up the action like you described here, but I can only navigate to one pin at a time. I was hoping that my action would show up in the top right โthree dotโ menu, or that when I multi-select from the table, that the action you described would take me to a view of what I selected, but it doesnโt seem to be workingโฆ
My table of items is called โRealm,โ and the โAsset Numbersโ are the locations.
(The โasset numbersโ arenโt visible in this video clip, but I would assume the idea is the same with or without them in this example.)
Do you know what I am missing?
Thanks.
From the video you have shared, the number of pins in each group seems to be in the thousands. In such a case the approach described above ( LINKTOFILTREDVIEW() ) may not be useful to you. Also if you are trying to bulk select with the LINKTOFITREDVIEW() navigation action, then I believe it will not work. Bulk select will work on each of the selected row with a row level action
Anyway, incidentally today only @Fabian has posted bulk select and navigate option tip. I think it is applicable to your use case as well. Please take a look at it.
Thank you for the reply. That makes sense. At least I got part of the idea right, even though it wonโt work for me. I definitely have thousands of rowsโฆ
Iโm wondering how, if it is possible at all, one can generate a map view โon the flyโ or based on user selections when the data source is largerโฆ
I may have to wait for that, or perhaps Iโm missing something.
Thanks again. I did see that post you mentioned, and I added my vote to the โbulk select map viewโ feature request, which I think would be fantastic.
You are welcome. Any specific reason you think @Fabian 's approach will not work for you?
I think this is possible. One implementation is below through the interactive dashboard sample app. Map pins based on a country are selected.
The below sample app selects the records for the โChartโ view. But you could select records ( or pins) that you wish to appear in the map view through the same principle of user selection.
Those are great examples, thanks. I will take a closer look. It would seem like those principles would apply to getting a custom map view also.
Hi @Ryan_Wagner this may be a possible way for you.
You have to first mark the rows you want to show in the map view. Then you can navigate to the filtered map view.
I saw you other post where you shared this technique. It is awesome. I will have to give that a try. Iโm wondering if I can leverage one of my existing columns to use as a โselectedโ column instead of making a new oneโฆ
Thanks!
One more follow-up question, @Fabianโฆ
If you donโt mind sharing, what expression are you using to get to that filtered map?
LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW("Map_View",[Select]=TRUE)
After navigating to the map view you should somehow erase all [Select] columns.
This is not possible as a Grouped Action, because a Grouped Action stops with a navigation action. You cannot Navigate + Set a value in a Grouped Action.
So you could do it with a Bot. But Bots run on the Server, not on the device. So it will take some seconds until the erase reaches the device.
For sure you could use 2 columns: [Select] and [Select_2]. With the Select action you set both columns to TRUE. Then with a Grouped Action you erase the [Select] column and navigate to LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW("Map_View",[Select_2]=TRUE)
But the problem is: A Grouped Action cannot be set to display overlay.
I didnโt find a solution for that.
