The MapDashboard WebApp provides users with a rich library of visual components, including 8 categories: Layout, Map, Map subcomponents, Geographic knowledge map, Chart, Basic, Data, Tool, etc. You can create different types of components by using simple interactive operations to create visual dashboard applications.
Adding and using components: Click 'Components' in the left hand sidebar and it will show the component panel, select the component you need and drag it to the dashboard page. Here are the introduction of component usage.
- Data source of components: Some components need to work with data. MapDashboard WebApp provides a data panel to add, view, and manage data involved in these components, please see: Add and manage data.
- Properties of components: The component properties can be divided into basic properties and specific properties. The basic properties can be applied to all components, please see: Basic properties of components. The specific properties can be applied to a specific component, please see the documentation of each component.
- Component interaction settings: The MapDashboard WebApp provides components with a wealth of interactive operations to link components. Thus you can observe and understand data in different ways, please see: Component interaction settings.
- Developing custom components: The MapDashboard supports users to develop new components. We provides several custom component demos for trial use. Please see Component development guide to develop custom components.
After adding the visual components, you can further set other useful settings for the dashboard.
