Panels, text boxes, images, and buttons

Alongside charts and slicers, Icon Map offers layout and content visuals for building richer map experiences.

Panels

A Panel is a movable, resizable, styleable container that other visuals are dragged into. Panels let you group related content — a title, a chart, and a slicer, say — and control how and when it appears. Panels have four modes:

  • Always visible — the panel is shown at all times.
  • Collapsible — a drawer docked to an edge of the map that viewers can open and close.
  • On selection — the panel appears when a feature is selected, showing detail about it (a detail or "popup" panel).
  • Tooltip — the panel follows the cursor as a viewer hovers over features on trigger layers.

Leaf visuals

Inside panels (or on their own) you can place:

  • Text box — static text, or a data-bound field with formatting, prefix/suffix, and number formatting.
  • Image — from a URL, a data field, or a file in OneLake, with fit and alignment options.
  • Button — an interactive button.
  • Location — shows captured or currently selected coordinates.

Together these let you build labelled cards, detail popups, and information drawers that respond to what a viewer selects or hovers.
