Multiple Map Visibility

other Xcelsius - Crystal Dashboard Design
1

Hi,

I think I read somewhere you can’t drill through a map in Xcelsius. Is it possible to have one map over the top of another in Xcelsius, and only have map2 visibile when a user clicks on a section of map1 (and map1 would seemingly disappear)?

Thanks,

Ao

the Maps all have a Insert Into property for the different regions of the map.
You need to assign values to the source data that is two columns wide.

the left column will have the region name spelled exactly like it is on the map, e.g. Illinois or New York, or Georgia.

the right column can have a value taht is anything you want it to be, like 1 or 2 or 3 etc.

Then you set the destination property of the map to a single cell.

By default, when a user clicks the region, the destination cell populates. That cell can be used as a dynamic visibility trigger for another map, or another object.

So, if you use that destination cell value creatively, you can make maps drill down and display whatever you want.
