in Charting

Hi All,

hope you are doing fine.

I have created a symbol map in Domo. Next think I want to do is to click on symbol (circle or bubble) and it should open a website. In my data set I have a field called link, that contains the full URL.

How can I do it?

Any hints are welcome :)

Best regards

    For #1, you need to change the interaction filters for the card in your dashboard settings.

    For #2, the chart uses the series for the filter for drilling. You would need to have your city in your series for it to filter like you want.

    The maps don't natively allow you to click on a symbol and go to a website. You would need to add a drill path and have a table card as your drill path card. In the table card, you can build the html href link with a beast mode. It would look something like this:

    CONCAT('<a href=',`Linkfieldname`,' target=_blank>',Linkfieldname,'</a>')

    Hi Mark,

    thank you very much - now I can drill down but I am running into following difficulties:

    1. Drilling works only if the chart is in expand view
    2. Drilling returns me all links for a category - I would expect link only for that specific City. I have unique latitude and longitude information available. Is there a way that DOMO would recognize it?

    Hi Mark,

    thank you very much.
    My last question is: do you have somewhere an instruction, that would explain how to adjust the filter settings? I will also do research, but if you know a good one, I would be glad to have a look.

    Thank you very much,

    Dybi
