Expression for XY Map column background base image

[Jake_Naude]

Evening All,

In my survey table > survey view > survey_Form I have two expressions that enable the branch number ‘buttons’ to show the most recent pin position & background base image for each branch. I can move an existing pin here or drop a new pin - no problem.

The issue:
If I browse to a new floor plan and drop a new pin, the survey_Form remembers the XY position and image from my expression and does not show the new background image for the new floor plan where I dropped the new pin.

This short clip may help?

I think the problem lies in my expression which is not accounting for the new floor plan background image or pin location details?

Initial Value formula for column [position] (XY)

IFS(
		
    CONTEXT("View") <> "survey_Form",
    
    "50, 50",
    
	AND(
    CONTEXT("View") = "survey_Form",
    [survey_type] = "Node"
    ),

LOOKUP(
MAX(
SELECT(
	survey[_ROWNUMBER],
    AND(
    [_THISROW].[select_asset_type] = [select_asset_type],
    [_THISROW].[asset_name] = [asset_name],
    [surveyor_email] = USEREMAIL(),
    [survey_type] = "Node"
	))),
	"survey","_ROWNUMBER","position"
	),

	AND(
    CONTEXT("View") = "survey_Form",
	[survey_type] = "Cable",
	IN(
	[survey_branch_number],
    [survey_branch_numbers]
	)),

LOOKUP(
MAX(
SELECT(
	survey[_ROWNUMBER],
	AND(
    [_THISROW].[survey_branch_number] = [survey_branch_number],
    [surveyor_email] = USEREMAIL(),
	[survey_type] = "Cable"
	))),
	"survey","_ROWNUMBER","position"
	)
    )

BaseImage (Text) expression for Background image for the XY coordinates:

IFS(
		
    CONTEXT("View") <> "survey_Form",
    
    [floorplans_id].[Floorplan_URL],
    
    AND(
    CONTEXT("View") = "survey_Form",
    [survey_type] = "Node"
	),
    
LOOKUP(
MAX(
SELECT(
		survey[_ROWNUMBER],
    AND(
    [_THISROW].[select_asset_type] = [select_asset_type],
    [_THISROW].[asset_name] = [asset_name],
    [surveyor_email] = USEREMAIL(),
    [survey_type] = "Node"
	))),
	"survey","_ROWNUMBER","custom_url"
	),

	AND(
	CONTEXT("View") = "survey_Form",
    [survey_type] = "Cable",
	IN(
	[survey_branch_number],
    [survey_branch_numbers]
	)),

LOOKUP(
MAX(
SELECT(
	survey[_ROWNUMBER],
	AND(
    [_THISROW].[survey_branch_number] = [survey_branch_number],
    [surveyor_email] = USEREMAIL(),
	[survey_type] = "Cable"
	))),
	"survey","_ROWNUMBER","custom_url"
	)
    )

.
I forgot to mention that “custom_url” used in the above lookup is a VC that calls the background image URL using… [floorplans_id].[Floorplan_URL]

Thanks…

Hi @Jake_Naude first of all: your App looks wonderful
I also saw bugs like that. When I open a Map View from a XY map it changes the background image to the one, I recently opened. When I go back and open the Map View again, the right background image appears.
Do you get the right Background Image after reopening the form, or after syncing the App?

@hugheshilton seems to be the right person for that

Hi @Fabian,

Thanks. Yes, occasionally I get exactly the same thing and I find that closing and re-opening the form then shows the right map.

The inter-dependencies in the expressions for my form were getting a little complicated and crazy so I’ve worked around the issue by simplifying the form and letting another view (branches) do the heavy lifting.

Cheers…
