Interactions
Interactions link dashboard elements together, so that one action by the viewer automatically triggers a matching change in another element. For example, activating a layer group can switch the active tab in a widget, or toggling one layer's visibility can show and hide related layers.
Click Manage Interactions to open the interactions editor. Each interaction is a rule made of a trigger (When something happens) and an action (what happens in response). Click Add Interaction to create a new rule, then choose the trigger under When. Use the Enabled toggle to turn an individual interaction on or off without deleting it.
GOAT supports two types of interaction:
Layer group activated → Switch tab
When a viewer activates a layer group, a Tabs widget switches to a tab you choose.
When to Layer group activated.Target widget — the Tabs widget whose active tab should change.Layer group and Tab, map each layer group to the tab it should open. Click Add mapping to add more pairs.Layer visibility changed → Sync visibility
When a viewer shows or hides a layer, one or more other layers are shown or hidden to match.
When to Layer visibility changed.Source layer — the layer whose visibility is watched.Target layers that should mirror the source layer's visibility. Click Add target layer to add more.Use Reset at the bottom of the panel to restore all settings to their defaults.
