Polygon Mapper for Airtable

Features

• The Map uses the active Table as the data source for the Map.
• The Map loads all records in the active View that have GeoJSON data.
  • The Map uses clustering to group polygons calculated by proximity and size. Clicking on a cluster zooms in to it to display smaller clusters and/or polygons with their label.
• A View can be Filtered to add/remove records from the Map.
• A View can use Conditions to define colors for shapes on the Map.
  • Conditional colors can be toggled on/off.
• The Map can display a background image overlay from a referenced Table.
  • When background image is toggled on, the background image displays on the map using its geo-reference.
  • Background image opacity is adjustable.
• A Record can be selected and highlighted on the Map by clicking its shape.
• A Record or Records can be selected from the Table and highlighted on the Map.
  • The map will Zoom to the selected record(s).
• Selected Record(s) are displayed in a Record List under the Map.
• A Record in the Record List can be expanded to view all its details.

Additionally, for View Mode:

• Mode can be used by any user who has sufficient permissions to read the Base.
  • If a user does not have sufficient permissions to use an option, the option is not visible in the App UI.
• The visible Map Canvas can be downloaded as a high resolution asset with its required Mapbox attribution text.
• Labels are visible on the map canvas and in the PDF download.

Additionally, for Draw Mode:

• Mode can be used by any user who has sufficient permissions to edit the Base.
  • If a user does not have sufficient permissions to use an option, the option is not visible in the App UI.
• Draw tool can create a shape and save the coordinates to the Selected Record.
  • The Draw Tool works when geometry overlaps, without losing progress or deselecting the current record.
  • Draw Tool notifies the user if changes have not been saved, before switching to a different record selection.
• Draw tool can edit a shape and save new coordinates to the Selected Record.
• Users can use a background image overlay (toggle) as a reference for creating shapes.

Settings:

• Mapbox Public Access Token is required and saves to the App.
• GeoJSON geometry and GeoJSON label are definable.
• Background image table and required fields are configurable.

Other:

• The App is open source. Currently hosted through Deytah's GitHub Org.
• Custom App can be installed to multiple bases, using the "remotes" beta for Airtable Apps.
• The App has documentation - uses GitHub project's Wiki. Note: this is an evolving work in progress.
