map customization
Hello everybody.
I'm asking if it is possible to change the by default coloured circle for dimensions put on a map.
I'd like to point on a map adresses in a city. Those adresses are for clients, providers and shops.
I'd like to put on a map :
- differents symbols for three categories
- in a wonderful world change the colors of the symbols depending on let says the margin
- in a mostly perfect world be able to clic on a shop and see what are the other points on a map in a circle of 1 km (a parameter)
- in a perfect world : depending who is connected, loading a default map focus on the city of the user
Are there any solutions for those wishes?
Thanks a lot!
Denis

1. Showing different symbols is not possible at the moment. I suggest you post an idea's request on the forum for this.
2. Create an attribute in your data model that flags each type of address, then use that on the color drop zone - you'll get a different color for each address type.
3. Use the lasso on a map to draw a geo-boundary from your mouse position on the map - it will show you the distance. When you release the mouse, you can elect to create a list/set out of the elements found within that boundary for further analysis.
4. This is a complex request - but it can be done. The steps are as follows:
a. add a user table to your data model that has a foreign key to your city table.
b. build a custom list of cities that selects the user's city first (using a nonempty function and the username function that dynamically resolves based on the current user). Union that item with all the other cities to create the final list.
c. build a parameter that uses the set from b above, and has its default set to the first item.
d. use the parameter in a map to drive the city selection.
When the map opens the list will resolve the user's city from the list and their username, and the map will immediately focus on that city only.
