Attributes/Table Popup Tab

The Attributes/Table Popup tab configures the default table popup that appears when a feature on this layer is clicked. The table popup always shows on click (subject to the Allow Layer Query checkbox at the top of the tab) — it cannot be disabled. A separate, additive Custom Modal Popup can be configured on its own tab; see Custom Modal Popup Tab.

After configuring the layer name and required source properties, a table of layers and their attributes will appear.

At the top of the tab, the “Allow Layer Query” checkbox enables click interaction for the layer. If unchecked, no attribute table will load and the layer will not be queryable (neither the table popup nor the Custom Modal Popup will open).

Within this table, fields can be configured for click interaction in two ways:

1. When a layer is clicked, a popup displays the attributes for the selected feature(s). You can hide attributes from the popup by unchecking the “Show in popup” column.

2. Fields can be linked to variable inputs. See the Variable Inputs section for details. In the “Variable Input Name” column, add the desired variable input for the field whose value will be set when a feature is clicked.

Note

You can configure a variable input in the attributes table without adding a separate variable input visualization to the dashboard. For example, a chart can reference a new variable input, and a map field can update that variable. When a map feature is clicked, the chart updates automatically with the field value—no need to change a dropdown or text input. See the example below.

If the layer loads correctly, a static table will display the available attributes.

If the layer loads incorrectly, a dynamic table will appear, allowing you to add fields manually. New rows can be created by tabbing through the inputs.

If the layer loads correctly but no attributes are found, no table will be shown and a warning will indicate that no attributes were found.
