Return X / Y using Functional Attributes in Dashboard
POSTED: | UPDATED: | by Stefan Schüttenkopf
In this Q&A post we explain how to extract coordinates from your geometry column as a functional attribute in Dashboard
Question
We need to expose the X/Y (lat/lon) values in an attribute using Functional Attributes in the Analyzer Views configuration.
How can we accomplish this?
Answer
With JavaScript we can use the turf functional attribute to get the X/Y for each record to output to a Functional Attribute.
Functional Attribute statement to extract X:
return turf.centroid(currentRecord["geometrycolumnName"]).geometry.coordinates[0];
Functional Attribute statement to extract Y:
return turf.centroid(currentRecord["geometrycolumnName"]).geometry.coordinates[1];
After applying the functional attributes we see them show up in the Sample Feature Data depiction and the output attribute column(s) are now available for selection in Analyzer View configuration where applicable.
