Pre Filter Map

Ask for Help

Hi, I’ve a map with different categories of pins. I’ve added search and filters to the component but was wondering if there is a way on loading of only loading one category of pins and then allowing the user to then filter using the functionality of the component?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you mean pre-loading only one category, but still allow the user to check other categories in the built-in filter?

If so, it’s not a native option since you don’t have access to the built-in filter’s chosen value(s). You have to build a custom filter to do it.

Thanks, Can you point me in the direction of how a custom filters work? Thanks.

Here are the steps to create custom filters in Glide, based on Darren Alderman’s video:

  • Create user-specific columns in your Users table to store filter values (e.g., selected category).
  • Add Choice components that write the user’s filter selections into these user-specific columns.
  • Set up your collection (or map) component to filter its data based on the values in the user-specific columns.
  • Optionally, add a button to clear filters by resetting the user-specific columns.
