A live dashboard — indicator, top-5 chart, region filters and the real map engine
A dashboard is your web map plus the numbers around it — indicators, charts, tables and filters, all bound to the same layers. Click anything; everything else follows.
A live dashboard — indicator, top-5 chart, region filters and the real map engine
A dashboard in OrbGIS is a 12-column canvas. You drag elements onto it — a map, big-number indicators, bar/line/pie charts, attribute tables, legends, filters, action buttons, rich text — and snap them into place. The map element embeds a web map you already built; every other element binds to one of the layers inside it. No separate data setup. No copy of the data.
The interesting part is what happens when someone clicks. Filters, chart bars, pie slices and table rows all publish to a shared runtime. The map applies the filter client-side, on the vector tiles it already has — nothing re-downloads, the features just drop out. Charts, tables and indicators re-run their queries with the combined WHERE clause. A chart deliberately ignores its own filter, so clicking a bar doesn't collapse the chart to one bar. Per element you choose the scope — filter everything, or just the map — and optionally have the map zoom to the filtered selection.
Dashboards follow your org themes: pick one and the chart ramp, fonts, corner radius and spacing switch together, with per-dashboard overrides when one needs to differ. Edits autosave about a second after you stop typing. When it's ready, publish — the public page needs no login and no seat, and the publish flow lists every embedded map so sharing levels stay consistent.
Map, indicator, chart, table, legend, filter, action button and rich text. Each drops onto the grid at a sensible default size and resizes from any edge or corner.
Click a bar, a pie slice or a table row and every bound element updates. The map filters the tiles already in memory; data elements re-query with the combined WHERE clause.
Category — as pill buttons or a searchable dropdown, single or multi-select. Numeric range with a slider. Date, as a single day or a from–to range.
Zoom to layer, zoom to selection, reset view, toggle layer, recolor layer, clear filters, open a link. Recolor takes full graduated or categorical symbology, and the legend follows it live.
Each map element runs the same OpenLayers engine and the same vector tiles as the map viewer — a SWEREF 99 map embeds as-is. Pan and zoom can be locked for kiosk displays.
Pick an org theme and every tile follows: chart colors, fonts, radius, spacing. Override per dashboard when one has to look different. Switching themes keeps your overrides.
The public page renders without a login: title, optional byline, dashboard. Publishing checks the embedded maps so a public dashboard never points at a private map.
The built-in Overview dashboard gives you a header, a map, two indicators, a chart and a table. Or start blank. Or save one of your own as an org template.
Drop a Map element and pick one of your web maps. Its feature layers become the data source for everything else on the canvas.
Point an indicator at a layer — count, sum, average, min or max. Group a chart by a field. Pick the table's columns and default sort.
Turn on click-to-filter for charts and tables, add filter elements, set each one's scope, and decide whether the map zooms to the selection.
Pick a theme, set the byline, hit publish. Autosave has been running the whole time anyway.
No demo call. No sales funnel. Just sign up and start mapping.
