Dashboard Components

GISOwl dashboards let you add interactive components alongside your map to build spatial applications and data exploration tools.

Adding Components

Click the Dashboard button in the toolbar to enter dashboard mode. A component palette appears where you can drag widgets onto a sidebar, header, or overlay panel.

Available Components

Charts

Create bar, line, pie, donut, and scatter charts from layer attribute data. Charts update dynamically when the map view changes or filters are applied.

Summary Statistics

Display key numbers: feature count, sum, average, min, max of any numeric column. Updates in real time.

Filter Controls

Add dropdowns, sliders, checkboxes, and date range pickers that filter layer data when a user interacts with them.

Legend

A customizable legend panel showing layer colors and symbols.

Layer Slider

A timeline or range slider that filters features by a date or numeric column. Useful for temporal data.

Text & Media

Add rich text blocks, images, and links to provide context and instructions.

Custom HTML

Embed custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript for advanced components. Has access to the GISOwl SDK.

Layout

Arrange components by dragging and resizing. The dashboard layout is responsive — components stack vertically on narrow screens.

Interactivity

Components are linked to map layers. Clicking a chart bar can zoom the map to matching features. Adjusting a slider filter updates both the map and other chart components.
